HI,
I have posted about my awful time i have had due to increasing my sertraline from 50 mg to 100mg, dont even want to write down the experience, anyway i was on the increase for 3 weeks, was told to go back down to my original dose of 50mg immediately, which i did on saturday, my huge, huge panic/anxiety attacks have subsided, fingers crossed, but i feel very very frightened after what happened and very depressed. I would rather feel how i felt before the increase ! anyway my doc has told me to stay on my 50mg (which i have been on for 5 years) till friday, then have two cold turkey days and then change to 10mg cit, i am absolutely terrified, even that word doesnt sound strong enough, i cant carry on like this, but the fear of the unknown is awful, has anyone done a switch like this? if yes how was the experience? also will i be suffering withdrawels from the drop in dose?
Thanks lynne
