Hello,
I've been on Sertaline since March, I was on 150mg from May and decided to taper it down in August, I came down slowly, was on 50mg for a month, went onto 25mg for 2 weeks then stopped completely on Wednesday last week.
However, the withdrawal for this final step seems more extreme than the others, I keep getting extreme dizziness throughout the day that lasts a few seconds, and sometimes just feeling out of it. Also, I've notice I seem to be more irritable in the way I'm thinking, I'm being a bit short with people but I'm very aware of it so I'm counteracting it all the time.
I'm worried trying to come off this close to Christmas when everyone is so stressed already was a bit of a mistake, plus I feel like I'm on a tiny roller coaster. I rang NHS direct, the guy that answered was lovely but the GP that called me back was no fucking help at all.
Basically, if I go back on 25mg say every 2 days, would I get any negative side effects after being off it for a week? Or should I just suck it up and wait for it all to pass.
