I started reducing my sertraline tablets from 200mg down to 100mg just over two weeks ago. Im still having side effects of dizziness, feeling disconnected from people/things around me, & feeling just abit like worried whether im doing the right thing?? And im worried if this is something thats supposed to go on as long as this or if this is normal? Has anyone else experienced these side effects? Thank you

I reduced from a lower dose and had very similar side effects, which lasted several weeks after I'd completely stopped. They became much milder and less noticeable, though. It took a while to regain feelings like excitement etc, but I was glad that I stuck out the tapering and stopped taking them eventually.

I can't say whether or not it's something to be concerned about, but just wanted to share my experience with you.
