Withdrawl from SSRI
I have been taking 50mg of Sertraline for the past 11 months and have recently moved abroad and agreed with my doctor to come off of it, as I've been feeling much better. For the last week of my course I lowered my dosage to 25mg for that week and then have stopped taking it. Since then I have been feeling light headed and dizzy, with a short breath and headaches and am slightly worried about this and how long it will last?
