Hi friends

I have been taking Sertralin 50mg for 14 months

Now I have two weeks and I am trying to leave the medicine and taking just 25mg

Since then my blood pressure is very low

Since it was usually 12/7

But now it reaches 10 / 4.5

With a high heart rate up to 110

Is the reason is the withdrawal symptoms? please help

      Hello dear;

      Thanks for responding

      my issue that i have noticed clearly that my blood pressure has been decreased while i am moving from 50MG to 25MG

      also the heart rate increased

      i hope this will settle soon but i was asking if any one experienced same issue with sertralin

      because someones say that sertralin effect blood pressure but others say it does not,

    Update

    Unfortunately, I had two bad weeks

    My pressure is low, fatigue and nightmares, and today I suffered from insomnia with indescribable fatigue.

    I was trying to reduce lustral by taking 25 mg instead of 50

    Today I got back I took a 50 mg pill, and I will try to take a 50 mg pill and the next day 25 so that the result is 37.5 mg daily

    I hope this makes a difference
