After taking Zoloft (50mg) for 9 months, I am finally feel ready to stop taking the medication. :rolleyes: What would be your best advice on getting off it gradually? I've had no panic attacks ever since the beginning of the medication, but now feel ready to handle them w/o it... :D

Well, first I should say - discuss this w/ your doc.
It can be difficult weaning off a med like this.
When I was weaned off of Zoloft, just cut the dosage. I cut it in 1/2, but some people can't cut it that much.
I think I stayed on each 1/2 dose for 5-7 days.
Once I couldn't cut dose in 1/2, I started taking every other day, then every 2. I think after that I stopped taking it.
Just go slow.
Keep in tune w/ your body and how it's reacting to the lesser dosages.
Good Luck!!!
