Moderator Emeritus KarenB Posted December 15, 2015 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hello Andy and welcome, I'm glad you found this site - you are in good company here with people who have experienced all these things you are now feeling. It can be scary when you don't know what's happening, but you will be able to sort it out. (Your English is great, by the way). You are right that you are very sensitive to meds. All of those symptoms you mention are withdrawal symptoms. I see that you took some care to step down your doses, but it was actually a very fast taper. We recommend tapering by 10% each 4-6 weeks, as this helps your central-nervous-system to remain stable (and then you get less symptoms). How long have you been taking nothing for? Sometimes, if it's not long since you stopped, reinstating a small amount can help your body to stabilise. Have a read of this reinstatement thread and see what you think of the pros and cons. If you did reinstate, you would stay at that dose for a few months, and then we'd could help you work out a gentle tapering plan. If you fill out a signature with tapering date and details, we can help you more accurately. Hang in there Andy, you can get through this. Just have a read of those links and come back here to ask more questions. This will be your journal to record your healing progress.

Moderator Emeritus KarenB Posted December 15, 2015 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted December 15, 2015 Firstly you need to do some calming things. You could write down some true thoughts such as 'I am going to be okay' or 'Bodies are intelligent and know how to heal' or 'others have done this and they are now healing.' Stick them on your wall, and get them into your heart. It is very scary - we all remember feeling like that at the start, but it gets better. One day you'll look back and see how good at healing you really are! You could get some magnesium and sip that dissolved in water - it's good for calming anxiety. Fish oil is also very good for helping people through withdrawal. Okay, so you're about 2 1/2 months out from your last dose. Considering how badly you're feeling, you might try a small reinstatement. Did you read that link? It's a lot to take in, I know. If you did choose to try it, 1mg could be a good dose.

Andyla04log Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hi. I'm now 27 years old. English is no my first language so please, please don't be rude. I really need help. 😥 I was on sertraline for two months in 2015. I was off quickly in less than a month from them. I had withdrawal symptoms between the end of 2015 and more or less until the middle of 2016. Everything was improving at that time and I was able to stabilize myself (2017-2018-2019 was fine or normal). At the end of 2019 I started taking contraceptives on and off (It wasn't a problem at that time). With the issue of the pandemic my anxiety come back, what I believed were symptoms of anxiety, stress (this was around the month of April). In that month (April) I stopped contraceptives again and from then on I began to notice more obvious panic and anxiety attacks. I was scared and I thought it was from stopping the contraceptives so I took them again. But in all these months I feel as if I am back with withdrawal, I say it because there are symptoms that feel like withdrawal: digestive problems, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, fatiga, heart problems, short of breath, spams, sinus problems, involuntary movements and they come and go like in a cycle. I feel very bad physically, mentally, emotionally and I don't know, my doctor tells me that it is a relapse and to take antidepressants but I don't know what to do. I'm really in a bad place I don't know if this has something to do with me taking contraceptives or it's a big relapse or withdrawal or I'm sick. If someone see this I hope you can help me out. 😔 Dosage prescription 50mg of sertraline for anxiety disorders. I take it for about one month (30 tablets).

Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted August 26, 2020 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hi and welcome back. I'm sorry that you are having anxiety. Stress can definitely cause withdrawal symptoms to get worse. Since the beginning of this year we have had other members posting that they are experiencing unexpected and/or worse waves. Q: Are you currently taking any drugs or supplements for the anxiety? If yes, what? Is it withdrawal or relapse? Or something else? How do I know it's withdrawal and not relapse? Please read these: But I only took it for a Week It Doesn’t end at “0” Things to do Along the Way So, When Will We Get There? If you had anxiety before you started taking the drug, then we suggest that you see a counsellor who can teach you ways to cope with the anxiety without drugs.

Andyla04log Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) thanks for answering. I read the links and they have really good information. I think this is withdrawal and my previous anxiety and stress is doing so much too for sure the way symptoms come and go and then they repeat itself or new ones every time but I don't know what to do this time. for three years I don't have any symptoms and now I'm scared and really anxious. I know I'm doing the wrong thing when I put more stress to my nervous system but everything that worked for me last time it's not helping me right now. Q: Are you currently taking any drugs or supplements for the anxiety? If yes, what? No, I'm not. I'm just taking yaxibelle (birth control pill). No drugs or supplements.

Andyla04log Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Question: are there stories of people recovering from withdrawal when they not tapered properly? I say this because I don't did the right thing five years ago and i let the drug without precautions (six months of symptoms but I didn't take the drug again) and then I was 'fine' for three years and now I'm lost in this again but now I feel it worse.

Moderator Emeritus Glosmom Posted August 26, 2020 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hi @Andyla04log, I am not a moderator but would recommend you read @train28 's thread. She made it through withdrawal and then started having issues after she took a medication for a cold or allergies I think? Not entirely sure, but it threw her back into withdrawals and she recovered again. Hormones are powerful drugs and can do all sorts of things to a person especially if you are stopping and starting them. It is entirely possible your birth control pills are what is causing you to feel unwell. Do your research, or at least google, side effects of birth control pills and people that have stopped taking them because of all the side effects they cause. You might be surprised at what you find out about them. Best wishes to you and I hope you start to feel better soon!

Feb. 3 weeks of increased psychosis, pacing, insomnia, other awful symptoms so late Feb - Back on 1.5 mg Risperdal. May - decrease to 1.25mg, two weeks later 1.0mg - symptoms started again.

Dosage prescription 50mg of sertraline for anxiety disorders. I take it for about one month (30 tablets). The effects were pretty bad the first two weeks and then I stabilize. For my second month I have a electricity feeling in my head and my vision was blur. So I decide myself to reduced the dosage. For about two weeks I take 25mg (tablet) and then I take 5mg two weeks maybe, because it was a small piece of the tablet. And then stopped all. For about 15 days I was just feeling headaches but anything more. I take my last tablet on October 5st. Link to comment
