    Coming off Sertraline abruptly

    First off.. Hello and Happy New Year everyone! Sorry I've been so quiet as of late; I've had a lot to deal with last year and still do have a lot on my plate. Anyway.. After being on Sertraline for almost a year now at 100MG it was becoming ineffective at that dosage for me and the only option was to increase the dosage. I've already tried the increase to 150MG and could not tolerate the side effects, so, my APRN told me to just top it (abruptly) and there wouldn't be any WD or negative reaction. Well.. I bed to differ?! After 2 days without it, I noticed this awful sinking feeling and swimming feeling in the head (not necessarily overly depressed though) so luckily I had 8 pills and I will take 50MG until they are gone. She wants me to start escitalopram, but she agreed to allow me time to recover a bit before starting something new. The question is.. Is about 2 weeks enough time for my brain to stabilize from being on Sertraline this long? Thanks in advance
