Am just wondering if anyone when they finally finished their last taper on sertraline did anyone get terrible anxiety and heart palpitations I've never had this before and a can't rest or relax everytime a try a jerk out my sleep this is awful 
Any AD or sedative(benzo) or addiction. Does this. Ride it out. It ansolutely eventually dissapaites. Takes time. The body has to re regulate now.There are very specific withdrawl mediations you should seek out and listen too. Extremly helpful.
Thank you I'll look them out
I know how the jerking feels it's called a hypic jerk and I got them after being on celexa for 4 days! Everytime I almost got to sleep my body jerked me awake it's awful! I didn't DIDNT sleep dor 3 days! I finally got on klonopin and it's helped me sleep drastically!! Hope this helps! It's really scary when it happens though
Thank you.. yeah it's just weird to keep jerking.. a thought withdrawals where over as all nausea..dizzyness and brainzaps are basically gone am just left with anxiety racing heart this jerking and waking up in a puddle a sweat am like what is wrong with me
Went to the doctor who said no you don't get withdrawals there non addictive a was like are you kidding me on seriously the withdrawals coming off this sertraline has been awful a don't know how a doctor can say that
This doctor should be barred from practicing medicine completely. A moron. An ignorant, extremly unintelligent man.i have never ever heard anyone say that in my life. Ever. At least not sine the 1970's. The lives he will destroy is scary! He will cause many addicts and many persons to be ill. Actually id report him as negligent and incompetent. Run from this doctor as fast as you can. Wow this is incredibly cruel and i correct. Way way way too much date going to the other direction. See any psychiatrist in this earth you will hear differently. Aside from being incorrect and i use that word lightly, and possibily illiterate, maybe he was trained abroad in some far and distant land. He lacks basic compassion completely. He is wrong. Life lesson here is ignorance is NOT bliss and before you use any medication from a prescriber see what their opinions and knowledge is in that area. No dr or gp should be perscribing any medications when they have no working knowledge of it. I can keep going on and on because this infuriated me on every level. Actually didnt think such ignorance still existed.
They arent considered "addictive" in the sense you need to continually increase the dose. Many get discontinuation syndrome. And most have to reregulate once the chemical in the drug is removed. Of course theres a reaction in the body. I really tried to maybe understand his ignorance so maybe that is in the definition of addiction, your symptoms are real and yes your body will re regulate. There are withdrawls symptoms. If your doctor stopped to use his pea brain maybe he would have understood the situation. Ok im done now. You are not imagining this at all. It might be about wording and definition but what you are experiencing is typical. Allow your body to reregulate it will take a while but it will happen, please look for the withdrawl meditations. Way more useful then you realize.please dont see that de for anything ever again. Lord knows how many issues he has given to innocent people. He probably also hands out opiates left and right for pain too.
Yeah a didn't wanna to argue with her so a just left the doctors knowing fine well am going through withdrawals I've learnt more about this drug online than I have in the doctors I made sure I tapered and didn't come off until a could just done it slow wasn't on them long but they made me worse so right thing for me was to come off am hoping once these withdrawals go am able to heal and take care of my mind and body through diet and exercise making are am always on top of stress etc am attending councilling so hopefully I can learn more
Hi.i came off another drug . Had all your symptoms . It's normal but the anxiety makes it worse so the sleep thing is a horrid feeling. Defo withdrawals . My doc was great . I should have tapered off slower but went through hellish withdrawals. Lasted a week then another week not so bad. Hang in because I and many like me think we can't get through it. Keep on here .talking to people who been through it saved me ( unlike your doc) keep going. ❤️
Thank you edwina it's just the waking up with panic and feeling like am gonna die it's horrible I feel bit better this evening yeah the doctors just don't understand which is terrible as they're the ones handing them out like sweeties a just wish a hung in longer when a got anxiety rather than taken this poison
No probs .talk anytime. Really reassured and helps. Glad your asking for advice. Even when I tapered off or thought I wasn't taking too many meds withdrawals were still horrid. Everyone's different. Be strong . Keep talking if u feel panicy( anxiety at its worst when our bodies are trying to deal with something else.let me know how u are❤️
I had no problems coming off sertraline. Maybe I wasn't on them long enough
So kind Edwina yeah it's been horrible lots of tears lots of prayers I came on here as a was just looking for everyone's else experience a know we are all different but sometimes someone will have ideas to help like what helped them ive been taken cod liver oil and magnesium as a seen that helped others going walks gonna try my best to force more excersise it's hard when you feel dreadful
Lucky you !! Yeah we are all different been horrible for me.. a wasn't on them long either couldn't take the side effects 3 months i tried
Glad your feeling better talking about it. Things get better and better . Nothing happens overnight and we obsess that things aren't better quick enough. Glad your pushing yourself and taking advice it's easy to avoid things . I wanted to hide away at first but thought well ill never get better if I don't try. Take baby steps. Those who come off no problem good for you but some of us need help and reasuranse. Keep me updated want to see I better❤️
Sure will thanks for even talking with me...❤️
