Just when you think it's ok..

Thank you for your reply, yes i had one while driving once and i have a friend who doesn't drive who will panic if she is in one of those cars that automatically locks! I think it is the feeling you cant escape! It is abit like paying at the till you know for that moment you cant just walk out of the shop and that can cause panic feelings too. I normally like my machine coffee but have eased back on that because it is quite strong! When i had gastitis i stopped caffeine and alcohol and did feel much calmer x

This roller coaster is beating me right now. Im hoping im coming to the end but I do know I could get a period any time. Anyone here manage to wean off antidepressants?

Im on mirtazapine as im seriously wondering if im doing the right thing.

Bless all u lovely ladies x

My sertrailine was only 50mg, so what you do, whatever your dosage is, you half it for one day, the next day you take your normal full  dose whole pill, next day you have the half dose again, next day full dose,and you repeat this process for 5 weeks, then, you drop the full dosage down by half, and the one thats already halved you cut down again if you can, depends on the size of the pill,  sertraline is only small, so could only halve it the once, crushed when tried to make it smaller, but if you can, halve it again, you do this for a further 3 weeks, then stop the first pill you cut down by half, and try and cut the half pill left, down to half again, take that for a couple weeks, then stop it altogether, because you find that the much now smaller pill, wont be doing anything anyway, takes about 8/10 weeks to ween off totally, shouldnt really have any withdrawal then,but it does depend on dosage, some people take Benadryl Cough Mixture to help them through withdrawal if it happens, they say its very good for that, but if your on other meds, be careful incase the cough mixture reacts with your other meds, and, make sure if you have other health probs, you can take the Benadryl.  If your concerned about it, gp will take you through how to do it instead.

Ive done it because im post,didnt notice any withdrawal, but i was only on low dose, and that can make a difference,  if  another concern is, what if the depression comes back, then say to your gp, can you go back on them if that does happen, see what she says......................its your decision.............good luck!.
