RUnstuck Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Hi! Two years ago I gradually decreased Sertraline from 200mg to 25mg. When I hit 25mg I had long lasting crying spells, body aches, brain zaps, etc. I tried for two weeks but ended up going back up to 50mg where I’ve been stable since.. Now I am ready to try again and hopefully completely wean off! Thankful for the group. Link to comment
