I got off Zoloft after 7 years on it, from age 13 to 20. I tapered off and got chills, shaking, complete sexual numbness, brain zaps, and horrible joint pain because of my combined EDS.
I can't blame my parents for putting me on them, but I wish they'd been aware. Having sex and giving was harder. I still feel the mental numbness post withdrawal.
