Please talk to your doc and have him advise on a tapering schedule. After reading numerous posts, quitting cold turkey IS a living hell but may not be as bad if you taper off. I am currently tapering of zoloft by 25 mg per week and although life is not pleasurable at the moment, it is bearable. I have added 1 mg a day of ativan to get me through the extreme anxiety associated with the withdrawal. Hang in there and please call your doctor.
