Due to circumstances out of my control I have currently gone cold turkey from sertraline and am unable to get back on for a wee bit and am

Experiencing withdrawal and am very dizzy to the point I can't drive and have waves of nausea and cold sweats and aching body. Any advice until I get back on it?

    Get yourself to an A & E or minor injuries unt or ask for an GP app as a visiting temporary patient and get a prescription asap. It is dangerous for your body to stop abruptly,

    I went to A&E and they wouldn't do anything and were quite rude unfortunately. I was on 150mg I have been able to get some now but can't take them until the morning. Starting to feel very nauseous.

      I got my gp from home to give me another perscription, I can't take it until the morning because it gives you a bit of a "kick" and so taking it at night isn't an option due to having a lot of problems sleeping which I am also on quetiapin for
