Coming off setraline-side effects check

Hi all,

I've been on sertraline for 20 months due to severe PND. I've been feeling much better in myself and did as the Dr suggested; on it until you feel "normal" plus six months.

With Drs guidance I've reduced from 150mg daily to 100 for 2 weeks and now I'm on the 50mg leg of reducing. I've been on 50mg for a week and, apart from feeling a bit grotty, I've been ok.

However, today has been horrific. I know it sounds silly but I feel as if I'm floating outside my body. Jelly legs, dizzy, pins and needles in my thumbs(?) shoulder aches and breathlessness.

Has anyone else experienced/is experiencing this? I'd just like to know how much longer to expect this to continue-today with my toddler has been extremely tough and I don't really think I'm going to be particularly professional in work tomorrow!

you need medical responses not mn. Please call your gp. BTW do you have heart problems? Please call gp asap.
