Now i have been off Sertraline for the last 2 months. I have been having severe withdrawal symptoms like crying frequently over the smallest things, tightness in the chest and severe anxiety. Dont know what to do. But i will never go back on the medication again. I would like to know how other people have dealt with this and whether i will finally be able to beat this.

    Hi Anna, have your heard of mindfulness, it was suggested to me and from what I've seen it looks really useful. Have you thought of yoga, pilates or something like that, it might help for you to get out. Good luck, feel for you.x
