Hi Ibrahim! Welcome to the TC 🙂 That's a very fast drop on Zoloft, I hope you're doing ok. Here's some articles you should read. If you're symptoms get too rough, you might try reinstating a little Zoloft until you feel stable, then start a slow taper as the article advises. https://taper.community/resources/blog/zoloft-withdrawal-symptoms-and-timeline https://taper.community/resources/blog/zoloft-withdrawal-after-short-term-use https://taper.community/resources/blog/can-you-just-stop-taking-sertraline https://taper.community/resources/blog/zoloft-brain-zaps Best wishes on your taper 🙏

Zyprexa started at 2.5mg in late April26 — 0.60mg at Nov 2026— actively tapering

Hi @Ibrahim.rhb, welcome! How have you been feeling? If symptoms get to be very severe, as HopeNeverFails mentioned you can reinstate a tiny amount to help stabilize things and then taper down more slowly. It's up to you depending on how bad your symptoms are. Sometimes withdrawal symptoms can hit months down the road too, so it's just something to be aware of in case it happens. Hopefully things will go smoothly. Not everyone experiences severe withdrawal symptoms. I'll include the information about Reinstatement in case it's something you would like to consider if needed: https://taper.community/thread/affd8e83-2361-4973-8f07-76d16744448a https://taper.community/resources/blog/reinstating-after-failed-cold-turkey If you go to the Symptoms and Self-Care section of the forum and click on the Guides tab, you'll find lots of helpful information and tips about how to deal with any withdrawal symptoms. Keep us updated with how things are going.

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 16.64 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Synthroid - 25 mcg
