Dawn, THANK YOU for this info! I have been on Zoloft for 11 years, and

just last year had my adrenal fatigue/exhaustion/hypo piece diagnosed.

I have been pretty much unable to function normally for 7 months now.

I am hoping to work with my doc to get off the Zoloft if and when I

ever get the adrenal fatigue/hypo treated correctly. Thanks!
