Hi I usually take it at 10 pm. I have an alarm set on my phone but I ignored it and forgot to take it. It's now 9 am. And I'm not sure if I should take it now and then again tonight since it's a good amount of time in between. I'm afraid if I skip this dose I will start experiencing withdrawal

    Yes ive been weaning off. I went from 100mg to 75 for a week and a half, then 50 for another week and a half and now ive been on 25mg for 2 weeks. I see my dr. on Thursday and will stop taking it that same day. Ive started taking omega 3 6 9 and benadryl when i feel physically light headed and neasuous. Im going to talk to my dr about taking 5-htp to help with serotonin. She will also preacribe me some more 25mg pills in case going from 25mg to 0 affects me too harshly. If so ill take 12.5mg every other day. We've also discussed her giving me 1 dose of prozac since it has a much longer half life and can help with withdrawl. So we shall see the path we take. If after a few months off the sertraline my panoc gets bad again then we may try Celexa. But im hoping to avoid all ssri's if possible. She thinks ill do fine with the occasional diazapam if taken when needed. Even now she gives me 10 5mg diazapam tablets that i split in 1/4 or 1/2 and they last me 2 months.

      Your doctor has prepared you for this withdrawl which is good. Mine kind of just threw me in there. Didn't tell me about withdrawal. I was on 25, they put me on 12.5 for a month and then that was it. I was fine for a week and then bam, it hit me like a ton of bricks. It was like having the flu but worse. If you are working, I suggest you warn your boss ahead of time, you may need to take some days off. I was on a low dose and couldnt leave my bed. You were on a much higher dose and the 2 and a half week may shock your body from the change so frequently.
