A member asked:
What are some side effects of sertraline if you stop all of a sudden?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Much Usually: Most people don't report much trouble although the brain doesn't like sudden changes. Some people can experience perceptual disturbances, dizziness, & "brain zaps" (whatever that means). None of it is particularly dangerous but it can be uncomfortable.
