Does reducing sertraline by 25mg have a drastic impact for anyone else?

Hi everyone,

I've been on 50mg sertraline for years since my dad died, also for ocd. even at this dose, esp higher, I get physical side effects such as constipation, but this is largely down to slow transit to be honest, medications just add to it. I've told the doctor I am better in terms of this when I tried 25mg but it seems to have such bad mental side effects when I do this I had to increase again, terrible agitation and depression, it actually ruined a trip! Has anyone else had this? I'd expect it from a huge drop in mg but it's annoying as when I decrease it I'm better physically!

Thanks

How quickly to you drop? Setraline is well known to need very small very slow drops.
