Hi, I'm AJNess

October 16, 2026

Hi all! I’ve been on Zoloft for about 4 years total (first 50mg and then 100mg). I tapered quickly in May of 2026. I’m now actively in the protracted period of withdrawal triggered by a stressful life event. I’m hoping to find community and get my questions answered so I can stay off this drug forever!

Withdrawal is not a preview of who you are without the drug.
