I Quit Taking Zoloft Or Sertraline A Month Ago, Nauseau, Dizziness, Quick Electric Shock Feeling

I was on zoloft/sertraline 100mg.for 3 years and began weaning myself slowly a few months ago (with Doctors recommendation) and have not had ANY pills for 32 days. Well it has been alot harded than I ever thought. I have been sick to my stomach almost daily since, and have alot of dizziness and these weird quick electric shock type feelings through my whole body at times. Not to mention I feel like im coming apart at the seams at times. EVERYTHING makes me cry, even NOTHING makes me cry. I began the meds when I miscarried twins because of sadness & stress but always was mentally pretty stable. I didnt think it would be a big deal quitting. Sometimes I feel like my brain is damaged since I stopped them.Does anyone know how long these withdraw symptoms can last? And anything I can do to help the nauseau? Thank you

Hello, Marleah! How are you?

Those are pretty typical for withdrawal symptoms, because of the effect the medication has on brain chemicals. They usually last about 4 to 6 weeks, for most people.

How are you feeling, now? Have they eased up, at all?
