Anyone come off sertraline? Advice please

Hi, I took 100mg Sertraline for depression for about a year. Absolute godsend as my anxiety was at its highest and besides the head fog they helped me hugely. Anyway I went cold turkey and it wasn't pleasant but its been 3 months now without them in the hopes of clearing the fog, which it has done.

I've basically leveled out and back to the way I used to be, definately not as depressed but I've lived with anxiety all my life and now I'm back to thoughts in my head 24/7 and I miss life without that.

Has anyone been through something similar? Do I need more time off the tablets to see if I can find a way to fix my anxiety. Or do I need to admit that without them I can't cope and even though I'm surviving better, I've 2 young children to care for and life's not going to get easier.

Any advice/experiences welcome, thank you x

Have you tried a lower dose? I was on 50mg for a while, weaned myself off slowly and don’t miss it now. The DC are older (9 and 12) which has also helped…

CBT can help with anxiety. Or just take the tablets. I take the tablets as I can’t face life without them.
