sertraline withdrawal

So I've been too complacent, run out of sertraline (I thought I had some spare in the drawer but they were something different - what an idiot!) and I can't get any until Tuesday. I'm on 100mg (or supposed to be) and I haven't had any for around a week.

Sometimes I am fine, other times I am depressed and weepy and I think my behaviour is becoming a bit irrational and erratic and I am becoming very tense. I keep crying on and off. Nothing has happened in my life to trigger this (except not having any!) and I am getting so many brain zaps I feel like I've got electric currents! I keep feeling confused and dizzy too. My poor other half is having to deal with me bouncing off the walls then crying then acting normal - he is so patient the poor soul!

I know its my fault but does anyone have any coping strategies for this until I'm back on them? If not here is your reminder to always take your pills! 😂

I've come off 200mg cold turkey twice and the only thing I can say is take it easy and drink lots of water. It passes in about two weeks (but hopefully you'll have some more meds by then)
