Tapering off Sertraline after 4 weeks
Posted , 2 users are following.
I have been taking Sertraline for 4 weeks (one week 25mg and 3 weeks 50mg) and I am thinking of stopping them because I have terrible fatigue and I don't know when it will stop.
I am thinking on dropping to 25 mg for a week and then stopping, but I am worried about withdrawal. Does anybody know what I can expect? Will I be sick a week after stopping them?

If I was you I would give them a couple more weeks and see if the fatigue wears off. It takes about 6 weeks to peak

OK, thanks for the encouragement. I might give a couple more weeks but it's so difficult having this fog the entire day:(

I know the feeling I am 7/8 weeks in and just being upped to 100mg. I still get the lightheadeness but have being given 2mg diazepam/xanax to help combat that side of things as and when needed which does work. Overall though I do feel better in general.
My down fall is I have put a stone on in this time (I know its Christmas time and we tend to indulge) but this weight gain is a problem I need to discuss as I believe it is the sertraline which sucks
