About 7 years ago, I "decided" to try to get off Zoloft. So, I did what I thought was a very slow lowering of the med. I guess it was still too fast because first I got a headache, waited a little longer, then I noticed I was feeling a bit "off kilter" in my walking. I waited again for a little over a week and again reduced it, and then I was really light headed. Well, I finally got off of them, but wow, not fun at all. A few years later my doctor added them once again because they did really work for me (don't ask why I tried to get off before .... sheer stupidity on my part), and they did not work as well. He then told me that when you go off of one of these, often they don't work as well when you try to go back on them.
I really won't change doctors .... I lived in MD for over 30 years, moved here to VA a year ago and I still go up there every other week for therapy and every month to see my Psychiatrist for a med. checkup. I've got a really good one and I'm not about to try to start over with someone new.
