Coming off Lustral

[worriedsick]

Hi,

Been on Lustral for 5 years take 100mg per day. Am thinking about coming off but think maybe the tablets have given me a false sence of security and the full blown panics will start again along with the GAD.

Has anyone else 'packed them in'. Also found I've gained a lot of weight (for me anyway) Is it just because I'm relaxed and happy that I can enjoy food and not constantly worrying?

Love to hear others experience on Sertraline
Thanks
A

Hi A

I am in the same boat as you mate, been on Lustral for 5 years too. Was on 150mg and came down 50mg in two stages last year.
I have recently decided to try and come off as I want a baby and i had a couple of weeks cutting down to only 50mg every other day and am on day 5 of only 50mg every day.

Feel a bit anxious but i recognise tha its just the pills. Its not fantastic but i am finding that i can deal with it.

The best advice is speak to your doc although I havent but saying that i am coping fine so far and my doctor has never suggested coming off!!! If you want to do it honey bloomin do it, slowly, if you cant cope go back on.
