Anyone else experiencing side effects when discontinuing Sertraline? I was on 50 mg for a couple months, then 75 mg. for a week, then I dropped back to 50 mg and a week later suffered 3-4 days of vertigo/room spinning, off balance, headaches, ear stuffiness, whooshing sound in my head, motion sickness. ENT found nothing medically wrong with me. a month later I dropped from 50 mg to 25 mg and again, had dizziness, off balance, headache for 3 days. I've cut the 25 mg in 1/2 and am now taking 12.5 mg every day. I want to get off this poisonous medication but fear for what may happen in a week now that I've dropped to 12.5 mg.
