Kickin' the habit - .. the zoloft habit

I determined that I no longer require treatment with antidepressants. So I started weaning myself off of the Zoloft, which I was only taking 25 mg to begin with. I cut my dose in half again. The first day I was alright, second I felt terrible. Nausea, diarrhea, yuckers. Then I felt great! A bit moody, but it's also that time of the month. (Bad timing.) Last night I didn't take a pill at all. I feel fine today although I was stuck with the diarrhea again in the morning. But my mood is ok, my head doesn't hurt, all seems to be well. Just wanted to announce that. The only other thing I've noticed is that in the morning when I drink my coffee, I get really jittery and nervous. I think I'll have to drink half-caff again...
The main reason I'm kickin' the habit now is:
1) Want to get off of it before my body gets too addicted.
2) Personally I'd rather swap it for some birth control (I can't afford both pills, and a baby would produce far more anxiety.. lol)
3) I really can't remember anything anymore. It's bad ~!
So wish me some luck, and I'll update in a few days with how I'm doing.. I will definitely be visiting the board, I am sure that I will need it more often!

Hi Lin - I hope it works out for you!
