did you have a hard time quitting sertraline???

Posted , 2 users are following.

I have been on sertraline since June 9th and slowly crawled my way up to 100 about a month ago. I have mild ocd and i swear this is making it so much worse. I am not willing nor wanting to increase this dose but i want to get off this medicine instead. I was wondering what the best way is and if others were able to gett off easy???

    I was on sertraline for a year and then reduced from 100 over a period of 3 months. When I fully stopped I felt ill for about a week and then was ok. I would speak to your doctor about tapering off but as you have only been on them for 4 months it may only take a few weeks to taper or your doctor may directly swop you to something else. Good luck x
