When to stop taking Sertraline?

Question

Asked for Male, 37 Years

I'm on 100mg sertraline for the last 3 years. My only symptom is dizziness and occasional palpitations. I am on this medication by Dr.Naresh Vadlamani, an excellent doctor . Unfortunately for the last 4 months, the symptoms of dizziness and palpitations are back in occasional intervals and with racing thoughts at the time of entering into sleep. Is there a specific sign that I should now stop or lower the dose? What are the symptoms or signs that Sertraline has done its duty and it's time to wind up?
