Hi, can someone talk to me about coming off sertraline. I’ve been on 150mg for a couple of years. I starting bringing the the dose down by 25mg a month (ish) a while back. Got stuck on 50mgs for a while with what I think is vertigo...- I kind of permanently felt like I’d drunk half a bottle of wine. It didn’t go completely away but settled down enough for me to function after a week or so.
Things all went a bit awry this week I meant to try to take it down to 25mg but for various reasons I haven’t taken any for 6 days. Did’t feel too bad at all until today but I feel crappy now. Ringing in my ears, nauseous and dizzy (worse when I move my head), dog tired (might be anemic though), utterly lacking motivation and really really really impatient and grumpy. Pretty sure these are withdrawal symptoms.
So I’m not sure whether to take 50, take 25 or just try to ride it out?
I have to go into London tomorrow with my husband, kids and mother in law. I don’t think I can do it and it is making me more stressed and irritated worrying about it! I realise the meds aren’t going to help with that - but just needed to say it!
