newbeginnings Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hi there Im currently tapering a benzo and decided to add sertraline for my anxiety disorder, i have been taking it for 3 days at 25mg. I have decided this isnt a good idea and i dont want to be on sertraline or any anti depressant. Is it ok to just stop it since its only been 3 days and 25mgs? Im wary on these things now because of my benzo taper! Link to comment
Moderator Emeritus mammaP Posted August 8, 2018 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 8, 2018 Hi and welcome to SA. It will be fine to stop after just 3 days. A very wise decision! If you need any help with the benzo taper you can post on our benzo board. Hope the benzo taper is going well. **I am not a medical professional, if in doubt please consult a doctor with withdrawal knowledge.

My story http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/4199-hello-mammap-checking-in/page-33 Lesson learned, slow down taper at lower doses. Taper no more than 10% of CURRENT dose if possible Link to comment
