tired of zoloft, want to get off

passed away.  Shortly after that I started with panic attacks, so sever that

I couldnt leave my house.  Over the years Ive been up and down on the

dosage the highest being 100mg and the lowest 25mg.  Ive tried a couple of

times weaning off of them, but the panic attacks came back terribly.  Im

convinced that its the medication that is causing the attacks.  I want to

find alternative ways to deal with anxiety (rather than meds).  Can anyone

help with suggestions as to how to wean off (and yes my doctor is aware

and has agreed that i can go off) the meds?   and what alternatives are

there?
