I've been on sertraline 100mg for about a year, initially 50mg and did really well on that but had a blip after 6 months and upped the dose. I'm been 100% since then (a year) and was about to start slowly slowly tapering down, my GP was fine with that. My sister is a doc and her husband a consultant psychiatrist. They talked me out of it as are worried about relapse and say I should just stay on another while, especially as this is the worst time of year to try come off it. It's really hit my confidence which I guess indicates I'm more vulnerable than I though! I'll wait till spring as I trust their judgement but I am wondering, have any of you come off your meds, stayed off and avoided relapse?
I know we are all complete individuals but I am so well and was so sure I was ready. I guess I'm disappointed and a bit worried it will never be a good time.
