Jen, I have been on Paxil and then switched to Zoloft for about 8 years. I have tried many times to wean myself off, every time suffering horrible withdrawl. i dont care what the docs say, there is a withdrawl from these drugs. ive been told that it doesnt affect the baby,, but how can it not? Im worried that my child will suffer withdrawl too, but trying to stop taking the zoloft would NOT be good. So, im 7 months pregnant,, and although i have cut my dosage by about half, i cant get completely off it. april At Fri, 17 Jan 2003, JEN wrote: >
