I was given it for panic attacks and anxiety about 5 years ago. After the problems disappeared, i decided to go it alone. A few months of no zoloft and the panic attacks were worse then ever. I was put back on the drug, and it never seemed to work again. At that time i had never heard of SSRI's losing their effect after quitting, so i never expected it not to work. After a couple of months i went back to my doctor who told me that SSRI's do have the ability to cause your body to build up tolerance. Since all SSRI's are basically the same, but of course not fully, he had me try a few others. Unfortunately i didn't have any luck. He told me that this is why doctors don't recommend stopping cold turkey. Weening yourself is a better option. Personally, i have to say that zoloft didn’t work better the second time around.
