81/2 wks on sertraline

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi everyone I’ve been on 100mgs of sertraline now for the past 81/2 wks. But dropped my dose to 50mgs this week. Then I’ve got to go cold turkey for 1wk so I can go back on my old 1s. Is there any chance that I can start intervening my old 1s while still on sertraline . Any advice or reassurance please 🌹

      HI Julie thanks for that. But I don’t av a clue what cross tapering means? Does it mean that while I’m weaning off sertraline? To start taking low dose of my old tablets 🌹

      Hi Debra.

      i think it depends on what you are changing to.

      i have looked again on the internet for you and found this.

      Thanx Julie . I’m changing back to paroxatine. I just don’t understand them time tables. The doctor told me to drop from 100mgs to 50mgs for a week and then nothing at all for a week. Then start back on paroxatine 🌹
