LMN i was on Zoloft for a year. i can't remember the dose, maybe one tablet a day, and i came off them on my own slowly, dropping down to half a tablet for 2 weeks, then half every second day for another 2 weeks. i had no side effects and no withdrawals. but everyone is different. my exH is on some form of anti depressant and has never come off them as far as im aware, so he has been on them for 15 years. he's an ar5ehole. so maybe thats one of the side effects of his drug...lol
