Hi skywalker,

It is never a good idea to go off antidepressants, as well as many other medications, cold turkey. Many times there are some disturbing or serious withdrawal side effects.

My question is I've noticed since stopping it 3-4 days ago that I've become really depressed - like more than normal. Could the cause of this being coming off of it so quickly?
Yes.

Information about withdrawal side effects of Zoloft:

All you would need to do is call the pharmacy and request a refill. If your medication does not list refills or you are out of refills the pharmacy will contact your prescribing physician to request a refill. If there is a problem the pharmacy will let you know.
