      Well decided by doctor to come off sertraline I’ve been on 50mg for 6 weeks now I’m going to take one every other day 

      Tonight I’m experiencing some very very mild chest pain just wondering if it’s normal ???

      I have read a lot about withdrawal and it seems the best advice is to gradually reduce but not miss days. So if you are coming down from 50mg for example, you reduce after several weeks to 25mg, then continue until you finally finish the med. 

      I recently came off Sertraline for 9 weeks but have gone back on it because my symptoms were not improving.

      My doctor told me every other day and not being nasty towards anyone on here but I’m such a hypercondriact so I’ll always listen to professionals he said because I’m worrying so much about coming off I’m giving my self side effects x
