A member asked:
I am about to wean off sertraline 75mg daily under dr supervision, but i'm scared of discontinuation syndrome. any advice on how to reduce this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Taper slowly: A slow taper is key. May patients tolerate a 50% reduction for 3-5 days, then another 50% reduction for 3-5 days, etc. If withdrawal symptoms occur, the dose can be increased to relieve those symptoms and then a slow taper can begin again. Your physician will help you do this safely.
