I’ve been on Sertraline (100mg) for about 10 months now and am just starting to taper off over a 6 week period on a plan agreed with my doctor.

Has anyone had experience of tapering off? Any side effects?

They’ve been a really useful drug for me with two caveats 1) weight gain has been signed significant 2) sex drive gone to zero!

If you are doing it over a 6 week period the effects should be minimal. But keep in contact with GP if you notice anything and they could just maintain the dose and then start again

Thank you.

I’m a week or so in to tapering off, maybe feel some slight side effects of anxiety but not entirely certain it’s not just me being overly sensitive!
