I had been taking zoloft for about 2 years and recently stopped taking it. I ran out of medication when my health insurance decided to end. So I am trying to get off of it. I have been feeling extremely dizzy and weird feeling all day everyday. Also, I can barely sleep, I toss and turn all night and feel twitchy. Has anyone ever experienced any withdrawls like this.
thanks

Yes, and I "withdrew" slowly. These symptoms are common, but they can be VERY unpleasant and make you feel awfully sick (though they're not dangerous). Do you have any medication left? If not, I'd encourage you to call the doc who prescribed the Zoloft, leave a message telling him the situation and ask if they have any samples. If the doc is a psychiatrist, they almost always have samples of Zoloft or similar meds that they are willing to give their current patients in tight spots such as yours. If you do have meds left, depending on how much, withdraw as slowly as your "stash" will allow. Take care.
