i want to come off sertraline prescribed for high anxiety
Posted , 2 users are following.
when do you know when it is a good time to come off medication? My anxiety is nothing like it was before. Taking 50mg sertraline for a couple of years-with a 6 month break. I still get palpitations from time to time, but I no longer have the health anxiety over anything that doesn't feel right about my body. I can no accept my bodies aches and pains. I have low iron so don't know how much that has been making things worse-low iron due to heavy periods. I also don't know if I am perimenopausal and much that is having its two pennies worth-so's to speak. I am 50 years strong (smiles) next week.
I would love to hear from anyone who has successfully decided to stop medication due to anxiety improvement.
Thanks,
Denise.

From my knowledge doctors usually prescribe antidepressants as a 6 month course and I think a gradual reduction to ease withdrawal
