how long has it taken people to come off sertaline and how long has everyone been on it
I was on 100mg for about a year. Been on 25 for a week now.Not sure how its going yet.keep getting anxiety attacks and a bit depressed.I'll stick at it. Has anyone else got any exp of this?
I am on it right now for over 2 years. My pattern is using it 2 to 3 years at a time, then I can sail on my own for 2 or so years, then some major life shock takes me down again and I return to my friend, Sertraline. Depressive disorder is a beast that rears it's ugly head but I have a good weapon!
I always let my doctor know when I want to ween off and ask him how to go about it so it will be safely done.

Usually it takes 2 to 2 1/2 weeks to ween off.
Hi thanks for the advice I think I might stay on till summer ive only been on it since September
Go to the link on here "sertraline withdrawl does it ever go away"!
I've been on it for a year and a half and have been reducing from 100mg for the past six months or so. Currently taking 25mg once a day. I think the key is to take it slow and obviously speak to your doctor first before reducing.
Best of luck 
Thank you amy-lou for your advice I think I will give it a few months then speak to the doctor
No probs. All the best with it, let me know how you get on
