Hi everyone. Can someone please tell me their experience coming off sertraline. I was on 50mg and I gained 2 stone and now I’m coming off it. What side affects did you have and how long did it take for the weight to come off
Sertraline: Hi everyone. Can someone... - Anxiety and Depre...
Sertraline
Sorry you had bad side affects, I was on 200 mg for 10 years, never had any lasting side affects, first few weeks I craved milk and chocolate, that went away. I had to come off it as I built up a tolerance to it. After that Dr. put me on Zoloft, don't remember any side affects, it lasted for 10 years and the tolerance happened again. I gained weight in the menopause and it has been very difficult getting it off. Only thing I can suggest is be careful with your eating plan, try to get some exercise several days a week. I wish you well, let us know how you do, we offer support, love and big hugs.....
The only side effect I had with Zoloft (sertraline) was some minor sexual issue an one time when I ran out of it on a vacation. I experienced a lot of brain zapping and weird thoughts. I did a slow taper when I came off of it to minimize the brain zapping. I didn't have any issue with it causing weight gain for me, and maybe it's a male thing.
