I remember reading about some of you being depressed and taking anti-depressants so hopefully, you can help me out.

My younger sister has been on Zoloft for about a year now. I never understood why she's even on it since the depression she was going through last year was just because she broke up with her boyfriend and it was around Christmas. Recently, she tried getting off of Zoloft, on her own, and just stopped taking it. She started falling apart and seriously thought of killing herself. From what her doctor told her, she can't just stop taking Zoloft, cold turkey...that she needs to wean off of it but he prescribed her 5 more months of Zoloft and didn't lower the dosage. Why is that? And how serious are the suicidal thoughts?
