    Well done you.

    after 10 years👍🏻That's a big step for any of A/D users to do.

    i hope you get over your side effects of coming off them soon. 

    you should be very proud of yourself ??

    I have only been on for 6 mos, and was having the memory loss, confusion, irritability (sever anger outburst) so I decided to go go off the Sertraline and I am going through all the same issues.... I feel like I have the flu... I felt like this the first month I was on this, I kept going as the effects started to away one by one...now its all back while weening off.

    I'm snacking on saltines and toast to help with the nausea, and staying away from anything acidy.   Another thing that has helped is oatmeal, strait up old fashioned style, bland as can be, but its working!

    Good luck, I hope you feel better soon.  I'm thinking this is like the start up and will go away soon!
