Tapering off Sertraline/zoloft
hello all.
Started on my journey in November last year, started with Citalopram. At the end of Jan this year I swapped to sertraline. Went up to 100mg and stayed there until end of May when I realised I felt completely wired, was sick to death of the jaw clenching and tension, had increased anxiety, so I dropped down to 75mg.
So that’s 17 days at 75mg - I want to taper off completely as the anxiety I am getting from taking medication is making me taking it completely pointless. I’m so worried about what it’s actually doing to me that there is literally no relief from anxiety anymore. Currently I wouldn’t say I’ve had major withdrawals. I feel groggy, muscle aches and crampy legs. A bit dizzy and I’ve been getting headaches (not horrendous) and I’d also say my stomach is a little off.
Does this all sound “familiar” and if so when should I drop down to 50mg?
Thanks everyone
