I've been on sertraline for nearly 18mths, have been feeling better for a good while and was thinking of coming off it anyway. Now that I'm pregnant (8wks) I've got even more reason to - I know it's not the worst thing to be on and is relatively safe, but if I'm coming off it soon anyway I'd rather do it sooner so as to be off it for as much of the pregnancy as possible.
Doctor said when I saw him at 4wks to go to 50mg every other day and we'd reassess. I actually went to once every three days and have been fine.
I now haven't had one for five days, as I figured maybe I could just come off it now that I've cut down quite a lot over a few weeks. I've had a few side effects - occasional pins and needles in my hands and feet, and slight dizziness (though morning sickness isn't helping there either!) but nothing really worrying. However I suddenly started panicking tonight that I might be harming the baby. Can anyone please reassure me or do I need to go back to the GP?!
