hi,
im on my 6th week of weaning off sertraline, ive always been on 50mg since i started taking them. i am weaning off by taking 25mg daily instead of 50mg. the last few days i seem to have gone backwards and feel down/anxious and everytning else.
anyone else had this when weaning off?
thanks x

I started taking omega 3 6 9 and multi vit a month before I started weaning off from 50. I halved the 50mg and then halved the half so I was taking 37mg or there abouts for a month then down to 25 for a month 12.5 for a month and have had no major withdrawal effects

I HAVE JUST STARTED MY JOURNEY YESTERDAY TO WEAN OFF AS WELL MY DOSE FOR THE PAST 1 1/2 YEARS HAS BEEN 62.5 mg. YESTERDAY I WAS THE HALF PILL SHORT AND NEEDED MY PRESCRIPTION REFILLED AND IT WAS DELAYED ALL DAY SO I DECIDED NOW IS THE TIME. I FEEL OK FOR THE MOST PART, LITTLE CHEST TIGHTENING AND DISCOMFORT, LIGHTHEADED BUT I CAN DEAL WITH THAT. WHEN I STARTED I WAS STARTED AT A HALF TABLET OF 12.5 AND I CONTINUED THAT UNTIL I GOT WHERE I AM SO IM GOING TO GO BACK DOWN THE SAME WAY I CAME UP. I HOPE IT ALL GOES WELL. IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT WOULD BE GREAT TOO. YOU WILL GET THRU IT. YOUVE COME THIS FAR, GOOD LUCK
