Re-appearance of Withdrawal symptoms
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi all, I'm just after a bit of advice on withdrawal symptoms
I had been tapering from 100mg. I went from 100-75 for a month then to 50mg where I have stayed for 2 months. I had the usual 2-3 weeks of withdrawal symptoms after each drop.
My withdrawal symptoms seem to have reappeared 2 months down the line even though I am still on 50mg. I've got increased anxiety, night sweats, stomach issues, twitching/buzzing/aching muscles etc.
My question is, is this possible that the withdrawal symptoms have returned 2 months after the drop even though I already went through them?

Actually i was on 50 mg sertraline for 4 years before i tried to wean off slowly. It took about six months till i weaned off completely. But two months after that i was in dire straits of withdrawal symptoms. In fact it got so bad that i had to restart the medication on 50 mg and till today i am on it. I have resigned to being on it for the rest of my life. But its different for different people so please hang in there if you can tolerate it. I guess gradually the symptoms will ease.

Thanks for your reply Anna, perhaps 2 months is the bad time then 😕 I will stick to 50mg for now. i don't want to go back up as it was just too much for me and i felt awful x

I also have admitted defeat and come to terms with being stuck on anti depressants for the rest of my life....... it sucks, in only 29 but I cant and wont go through what I felt before starting this medication.
Unless of course there is some miracle that replaces serotinin within the body that isn't a tablet
