Be extremely careful in quitting Zoloft or any SSRI.  They can cause some serious trouble with distortions of reality, violence, etc.  Most psychiatrists and/or pharmacists will tell you to continue under a doctor's care and be weaned off of them VERY gradually.

My son quit taking Zoloft cold turkey and experienced extreme agitation and violence.  He is now serving a 35 year sentence for murdering his friend in our home during this time period.

 Please be very careful.
