If you decide to stop taking sertraline there is a risk of your body experiencing something known as discontinuation syndrome - the negative effects of sertraline withdrawal. • 👉1:1 Coaching for Anxiety and Mental Resilience / alexrobb.yt • 🧑🤝🧑 Join the Sertraline / Zoloft Support Group / ahappychange • Watch This Next: • Sertraline Day 2000 - Update (Life Af... • Usually discontinuation syndrome happens when your course of medication is stopped too quickly, such as quitting cold-turkey after taking an antidepressant for a period of time. The advice is that if you wish to stop taking antidepressants you should consult your Dr and taper your dose lower and lower over a period of weeks. There are ways that you can regulate mood using different SSRIs with longer a half-life to manage the chemical changes aswell, your GP will be happy to advise. • What are the Symptoms of Discontinuation Syndrome? • Sertraline Withdrawal can induce the symptoms of discontinuation syndrome; this can involve physical and emotional side effects that can be difficult to deal with. Common experiences involve: • Nausea • Vomitting Diarrhea • Headaches • Sweating • Disturbed Sleep • Brain Zaps • Dizziness • As well as familiar signs of heightened anxiety and mood swings. In some cases a return of thoughts regarding harming oneself can occur. Again, careful management with your Dr is key to avoiding these experiences. • How long does Discontinuation Syndrome last? • Most people who suffer these side effects find that the withdrawal symptoms of discontinuation syndrome alleviate after about 3 weeks but can perputate for longer in rarer cases. This time period can be quite challenging and is one of the key reasons that Drs aim for a gradual decrease in medication over a longer time period. This gives your body time to get used to the withdrawal without the shock of going cold turkey. • What can I do to prevent Discontinuation Syndrome? • The most important thing is to seek medical advice prior to stopping your antidepressants. Your Dr should be part of the conversation regarding tapering your dose at a steady rate in order to minimise the risk of discontinuation syndrome affecting you. Drugs such as SSRIs have a profound effect on the chemical balance in the brain and time must be spent recalibrating slowly over a period of time. • I advise that you have also invested time in some form of talking therapy in order to unpick your mental illness and provide some tools for self-management. This will not only help in the long-term but also if there are any side effects of antidepressant withdrawal. • If you are certain you want to stop antidepressants, good luck with your journey and remember to take it slow, under guidance from a medical professional. • ⏰ Timecodes ⏰ • 00:00 - What happens when you stop taking antidepressants • 00:24 - Who is this video for? • 00:37 - What causes discontinuation syndrome?
