Patients discontinuing Zoloft can have many different symptoms but doctors call this "Selective Serotoin Reuptake Inhibitor Discontinuation Syndrome" instead of withdrawal and you can read about the many possible symptoms of this syndrome in the study cited, below:

Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, Rafael A. Rivas-Vasquez, et al, "Selective Serotoin Reuptake Inhibitor Discontinuation Syndrome," (March 1999) http://psychrights.org/research/Digest/CriticalThinkRxCites/rivas-vazquez.pdf

This study did not seem to mention heart arrythmias (check it yourself, though) but talk to your doctor if you are experiencing that sumptom, talk to your doctor before attempting withdrawal from any anti-depressant and especially about any symptoms you notice.

The treatment for "Selective Serotoin Reuptake Inhibitor Discontinuation Syndrome" is to continue the treatment. It does take care of the symptoms but there can't be anything good about that approach can there)?
