I’m a little nervous, very shaky, nauseated an just feel really sick. I had slowly lowered my doses to 50mg and I was on 100mg. Can I start taking them again if I hadn’t had them for four days. I have two kids and I don’t want to hurt myself or anyone else. I have to stay healthy and not sick an emotional. I didn’t mean to I ran out.

    I was on it for over a year. And I just want to know if I can take it still after not having it for 4 days? I’m starting to feel side affects and it doesn’t feel good! Please help

      I would just go back up very slowly like maybe even 12.5 mgs

    Hi Brianna. I've done the same thing before and just took one asap. In my experience there was still enough in my body for the good effects to kick in quite quickly so i would think you’ll bd fine. Or you could do half now and the other half in a few hours.

    If you’re really worried about very low mood call Samaritans or your doc. 

    Good luck x

      Hi Sadie I really appreciate you writing me. You really think it would be okay? Would it be okay if I waited until tomorrow since I just took my allergy medicine? I’m about to go to bed an I get pretty nervous when it comes to medication. Should I cut the 50 mg in half tonight/ tomorrow?  I’m jus paranoid and worried because of how I’m already feeling and I’m pretty sure it’s only been four days but I can’t remember

      Last reply is still being moderated, think it might be because I included a link to a website where you can check which medications interact with each other. I'm sure you will be fine to start again on a slightly lower dose if you're more comfortable with that.

      Thank you so much for posting on here and helping me out! I was feeling pretty shaky supper early this morning so I just took the 50 mg not really thinking. Still feeling a little weird so yes I’ll take a lower dose tomorrow and hopefully that’ll be okay. My brain is all over the place lately and my 18 month has her last two teeth coming in so she’s been cranky.

    Sorry I went back to sleep, I’m in UK. I hope you are getting some rest now.

    This should show you whether your other meds interfere with it but would be surprised if doc prescribed them together: https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-35-8095/zoloft-oral/sertraline-oral/details/list-interaction-medication

    It’s a horrible feeling going cold turkey on these but you should have caught it fast enough. I would do half and half then back to normal. I also put an alarm on my phone to remind me when running out too - my memory is shocking on these so it really helps!

    Let us know how you are getting on and remember any bad feelings will pass smile

      What do you mean by your memory is shocking on these?
