Hi all. I’ve been on sertraline for probably two years now. I started sertraline 50mg a few years ago, came off for 6 months as felt better, then went back on after my anxiety skyrocketed. Went to therapy and have been feeling a lot better. I reduced my dose to 25mg a day and have been on this dose for about a year. I wanted to keep reducing and try coming off the tablets, but went through some more personal trauma as I was just taking 25mg every other day in July and had to up my dose back to 25 mg every day in August. Since then I’ve noticed worsening intrusive thoughts (particularly around death and worrying about those emergency phone alerts going off!). Could this be lingering effects from going down and then up a dose? Is it like starting the medication again? I want to try reducing my dose again to just 25mg every other day, but I’m a bit worried I’m making myself worse! The intrusive thoughts are just very upsetting at the moment and wondered if anyone else had gone through something similar. Maybe the dose is too low for me and I need to go back to 50mg every day to be able to live life again? Or maybe I need to stick with 25mg a bit longer, or just take the plunge and try and come off completely again?
