So I’m coming off of sertraline. Just wondering if others have and what withdrawal side effects if any they had?

    Hi there.I reduced my sertraline from 100 to 75 and felt really unwell and had terrible shakes. It took 10 days for the symptoms to start and about the same to feel well again after increasing back to 100. I think it has to be done very slowly. Hope this helps and all the very best to you.

    I reduced mine last week from 200 to 150. I was on holiday at the time so not too bad just slept a lot. I am tired all the time . This is why I want to come off as hope I will get my life back. When I did stop altogether for a few days felt worse had suicidal thoughts. Long run not sure if tables are working just feeling tired all the time. Have been on 200 for a year my life is very crazy and busy so I don’t think that helps.
