coming of sertraline

Hi Ingrid......Always a good move to put in a request for a repeat script before running out.Sorry to hear you're having to go through withdrawals.If I were you,I would definitely go to your doctor and start again.If you do want to come off them,do so extremely slowly,say by about 12.5 a week.This way your body will adjust without any horrors of acute withdrawal.Good luck and do keep us posted.x x 

Ive been off for going on 3 weeks and let me tell you i still dont feel like myself. I feel better than i did. The first week was the worst. I wanted to kill myself got hot flashes and cold sweats. Lost all my emotions. I still dont have all my emotions back. I lost all my feelings towards my girlfriend. I lost my o. I still dont have it all the way back. I dont have a sexual appetite and ive been extremely  depressed more than before i started taking them. I def donnt feel like myself still but i feel  .  Better than i did. The main problem right now im having is that i still dont have feelings towards my girl and we have a great relationship. I also think because i lost my sexual desire that it makes my  .  Mind think im gay. Never felt like that in my entire life or felt any of this  symptoms.  Everytime i look at a guy  .  I feel gay. But i have nosexual thoughts about them just when i look at a guy i feel gay. All this happend from taaking the meds and quitting. Ive never been like this in my life and im 26. I do not recommend taking depressants. Been the most f*cked up couple weeks of my life. Im going to see a therapist tomorrow because of all of this.

Eat lots of chocolate and drink ginger beer. I also found a glass of wine helpful. The chocolate and wine seem to calm down the weird brain feelings, and the ginger is good for the nausea. Took me a whole year to come off it as I found the withdrawal symptoms debilitating. Get another prescription and cut up the tablets so you can reduce the dosage slowly. Good luck!

Thanks David, ill try that i was worried about the dizziness with the wine but nothing can be worse than it is now im definatley going to try the ginger beer , I could never suffer this for a year i have been in bed all weekend and i am going to see my grand kids in Aus for christmas and cant even get up to pack I go next thur, hope if i go back on them tomorrow they will work quite quick. 

It was that bad that on sat night I was watching mrs browns boys christmas special and the tears were running down my face ha ha , think I definatly need back on . x
