All the side effects of withdrawal

2017-09-19 02:41:37
Hi, my partner has decided to go cold turkey on antidepressants (Zoloft) and has been getting all the withdrawal symptoms and side effects and I was wondering if there is anything to do to help eliminate some of those side effects or control them, medication wise or even just other remedies.
