Sertraline .....help

Posted , 4 users are following.

I'm on week 4 of taking this at 100mg however I have stupidly run out and not got any left, can't get new prescription till at least Monday if I'm lucky, by then I will have missed 4 doses - what are the chances I'll get any withdraw signs,

pat the moment I get restless legs and arm jerks, hot flushes ( but that could be the changes) lost of apatite and problems sleeping,on top of that I work nights and still going in, but other than that I've stopped going out and wanting to do things, my get up and go has gone 

has anyone got any advise 

Thanks

    Hi. I'm sorry to hear of your condition. I can relate all too well. I think 4 days is far too long to go. Perhaps u can go to a hospital for help getting your meds.

    I agree. Ring out of hours doctors or the hospital and ask for a prescription. Tell them you are suffering withdrawal side effects and need them ASAP. They should be able to help as they are able to prescribe the morning after pill etc at the hospital.

    Good luck hun x

    hope you get sorted out, get your doctor to put you on automatic repeat so that doesn't happen again, i get mine every 6 weeks automatically repeated to my local chemist. hope your feeling better, don't double up your dosage because you've missed 4 days either, you will most certainly overdose yourself,just take you're normal dosage like normal, and it should kick in again in a few more days, good luck :-)
