[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 60054, member: 1498"] You might want to half it for two weeks then give it every other day for a week or so. Some think that's too fast. There are sites that give dosing recommendations for people trying to withdraw from an AD but I don't have any links. My son threw his Celexa Klonopin across the room one day and refused to take it again. He had physical withdrawal issues for two weeks -- nausea, dizziness and headaches. However, he didn't have any psychiatric withdrawal issues -- I credit the Lamictal he was taking for that. Zoloft has a long half life compared to some of the other ADs so if you discontinue it slowly he shouldn't have too much of a problem. It will take 5-6 days for it to completely leave the system then a few weeks (or months in some cases) for his body to adjust to not having it anymore. The Focalin will be completely out of the body very quickly; matter of fact, that "rebound" is actually a form of withdrawal illness. But again, once it's completely out of body, the body will have a period of adjustment to not having the drug. [/QUOTE]
