Yes, you need to taper.

Going cold turkey off 50mg Zoloft can bring all sorts of effects. It has also be described in withdrawal literature that bill severity may increase when tapering through the lower doses - tapers should consequently be modified & slowed accordingly. Hence, dropping from 50mg - 0mg is not as straightforward as it looks. It's actually a big drop, since its equivalent is 20mg Paxil or Prozac (ref Healy, intertwine below).

Zoloft essential figures (p.83 Glenmullen) - Half-life 26hrs; Typical onset of debt Day 3-4. However this is 'typical' and it will vary according to sensitivity, how fast you metabolise the drug...

Withdrawal effects can go down after much shorter usage - and that has been noted from the drug trials. One example comes from another SSRI, Paxil, where on earth it has been noted by a doctor who have access to unpublished results, that up to 80-something% of the healthy volunteers showed significant signs of withdrawal. The longest Paxil trial I know of, be 12 weeks, most are considerably shorter. Paxil is known to be the worst of the SSRIs from which to withdraw, so this is imagined to overestimate the effects in terms of Zoloft... but possibly it illustrates that 4 months is more than long enough for dependence to take place?

" ...I was done with the "postpartum"" - if you surface like doing some google searches, you should find heaps instances of individuals who started an antidepressant for postpartum problems, and are still on them years later. Often describing how they tried to stop, then restarted. Note the similarities of what happen when they stopped, to the withdrawal symptom checklist.

Dizziness is classic withdrawal, and because it is one of the medical subtraction effects, is the one people may be most likely to make a note of. Insomnia and fatigue are also withdrawal symptoms. Some others you may/may not have noted are: headache; anxiety; irritability; depression; the 'flu'; sinus/nasal congestion; mood swings; eye/ear sensitivity; nausea/digestive issues...?

P.S. Zoloft tablets are available in differing strengths e.g. 50mg, 25mg - so next to a pill cutter differing doses can be obtained; in that is also a liquid version which I conjecture is 20mg/ml strength (check with your doctor!), if so, a small 1ml sized oral syringe could help produce accurate doses, since respectively 0.1ml marking would equate to 2mg Zoloft. Do note David Healy's comments on stabilising on a gooey version of the drug - a small number of general public do have an adverse reaction to the soft version of the tablet/capsule they were taking. Also be aware that after a time crevice of roughly 6 weeks after stopping a serotonergic antidepressant (and this is anecdotal, not scientific) there comes a point where reinstating the antidepressant contained by some people may not produce the original effect.
