So I've been on and off different Anti-depressants since January of 2018. The one I've been most recently on is Sertraline 25mg. I've only been taking it for about 5 months. I tapered down and broke it in half and took only half for about 2 weeks and now I've stopped taking it completely. I don't want to take them anymore because I feel like it does nothing for my anxiety and I'd rather just control it on my own the best I can. I know withdraw symptoms are a thing and was wondering what kind of symptoms anyone else experiences and how long they last, also how long until I will feel normal again. I feel very foggy headed and have had a headache. Ofcourse, super anxious. I feel numb and spacey.
Hi i shouldn’t worry to much about side effects 25 mg is a low does so breaking it down to a even lower dose to come off should be fine , maybe a few more weeks may have been better , but your doctor can advice ,its always best to check .They are very good ive taken them for years and they help with my panic attacks ect with no real side effects at all. I have had a year break from them from time to time and i came down over two months and had no problems , just abit down for a few weeks . but each person is different so always check with someone as to how long to get yourself off them and remember that sometimes we feel these medications dont work when in fact they are we just dont know it.good luck and hope all works out ,plenty of self help groups to help you through things so dont go through this alone x
