Leslie, call any pharmacist. They are so smart and helpful, and they know more about medications than many doctors!
Good luck. =)
I call pharmacies a lot.
If you've only taken it for 5 days, you should be OK if you stop cold-turkey. People don't usually get withdrawal symptoms from Zoloft unless they've been on it for at least 2 weeks. Don't give up on ALL anti-depressants just because you had a bad reaction to one. There a PLENTY more out there to choose from!
