I am sorry I am new here and I have to get the hang of it.....I hope this works.

I was on Sertraline for 8 years....weaned off from December 2011 and completed the weaning May, 2013....had quite a few side effects during this time.

After off sertraline completely I still have the side effects and am off 10 months now. Has anyone had this experience....

Thank you

      Hi venin. I just wondered if I could take the details of the doctor in London please? I am suffering very badly with ssri withdrawal after short term use and tapering off. Thank you.

    Hello Venin...thank you very much....but I live across the pond....I am getting a lot of help from a Facebook group and funny enough the owner is British....She is helping me and so many other people who are suffering from Discontinuation from SSRIs....They are all going through or have been through what I am going through right now.....

    I am not depressed strangely enough, but very low and sad because of these horrible side effects from withdrawing from Sertraline (Zoloft).....It will take a long time for me to get better but I will get better. This woman is an Angel from heaven and right now she is one to one with me.....She is better now and she had almost the same side effects that I am going through right now....it took her more than two years to be free from side effects...so now I am 11 months off Zoloft.....

    Thank you so much for thinking about me.....and I hope I can help some in ths form with my experience...learning to accept.....no matter how bad one feels they must do stuff......anyway...When we face our fears it is half the battle.

    Love

      Hi lee. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I just wondered if you could give me the name of the Facebook group. I am having a nightmare with sertraline withdrawal. Thanks.
