    Hi zerodark,

    I like you was also tapering off sertaline (from 50mg). I managed to get down to 25mg but have had a very difficult few months and unfortunately my depression has returned. After seeking advice from my GP it was decided that it would be best to go back up to 50mg. I started 50mg 9 days ago. Side effects have not been too bad. A couple of very bad headaches for the first 5 days but they seem to have subsided now. In terms of my mood, I am still waiting for some improvement because I would not say it has improved as of yet. I hope it will improve soon. Hope this helps you.

    yes, please remember that Zoloft is used to treat general anxiety and panic attacks.

    I know that depression can go hand in hand with anxiety, but it is not normally prescribed for that.

    My advice is to go to a psychiatrist, not a GP. It was the BEST decision I made.
