hello ... i've seen several messages similar to my situation but not exact, so here goes. after two years of taking 100mg of zoloft per day and smoking pot approx. 6 time per day, i quit both cold turkey one week ago. Now i feel sleepy all the time and very dizzy. my appetite has also disappeared, something that did not happen when i went on zoloft (in fact, i felt no side effects when going on zoloft for anxiety/light depression.) Now, I describe the feeling when i swivel my head as "the bionic woman" sensation ... like it takes a minute for the inside of my head to catch up with the outside. focusing is also a problem - i feel shaky and (this next part is not a shocker to me) irritable and emotional. my question is, how long might this go on, and can i expect any long-term side-effects? thanks - karen
