I am going to start weaning myself off sertraline, under the care of a physician. i am on 75mg 1x daily. is there anything i can do to help withdrawls?

Stopping sertraline: Do make sure you are being monitored for the symptoms that got you on sertraline in the first place. Most likely you've had significant depression and/or anxiety. Stopping sertraline is a complex clinical decision to be discussed with your doctor. You should not have withdrawal if tapering is done with careful medical/psychological supervision. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
