I'm tapering off Sertraline after taking 100mg for the past 18 months. I'm now on 50mg with the intention of getting to 25mg and staying on that dose.
Thing is, this weekend I really felt it! I was so irratable and down, but trying my best to hide it from those closest to me as I don't want anyone to worry or suggest I increase my dose again.
I feel so defeated ATM. On paper, my life is a million times better that what is was a couple of years ago. I should feel happy - naturally! But I don't.
My reason for lowering my dose is because I've gained 3 stone in 18 months since I started this medication. I wonder if I lose the weight, if my mood will be lifted?
So hard pretending I'm fine when I'm not.
Anyone else in the same boat or anyone with similar experience?
Does it get better?
Thanks
