I'm off everything now apart from diazepam when needed. I was on 50mg for 2 years. I told the Dr i felt emotionally numb so he took me off it cold turkey and put on mirtazapine 15mg which I stopped after 3 weeks then went back on sertraline 50mg again after 3 months. Which is bad apparently I've read not supposed to reinstate after 3 weeks
Cutting back to 25mg for a week, or two would have been kinder.
Where did you read this? There is no reason I'm aware of why you can't go back onto a med after a longer break. However, as with discontinuing, a week or two at 25mg would have been better. Plus, given the emotional blunting was an consideration given to taking another SSRI?then went back on sertraline 50mg again after 3 months. Which is bad apparently I've read not supposed to reinstate after 3 weeks
