Stopped Sertraline after 6 weeks

[mckean32uk]

So after 6 weeks on Sertraline i decided to stop, they were not working for me, just making my anxiety rocket for 6 weeks.

im now on day 6 of coming off them and have had minimal withdrawal symptoms but just wondered if upset stomach was one?

thanks

I only took Sertraline for a very short time as it caused me to suffer microscopic colitis which gave me acute diarrhea. Although I didn't have any withdrawal symptoms from Sertraline, several months later I still haven't got rid of the colitis. Very unhappy!

I have been taking 200mg of Sertraline for depression but it doesn't take much for anxiety to show itself. I have noticed my anxiety has increased in the last few weeks but I know what is causing it. I kind of park different things that cause anxiety in different boxes in my head and work out which ones I need to think through. Are there other things going on in your life at the moment that could be causing your anxiety other than sertraline?.
