Coming off sertraline - side effects

[hannahlucyx]

Yes yes and yes! Me (being the idiot that I am) forgot to get a repeat perscription on my Sertraline and had to wait until the bank holiday was over. I e-mailed the doctor's and they still haven't got back to me saying my prescription is ready so I've been off it for about a week now! I've certainly been feeling very spaced out and I've been getting heart palpitations, strange sensations in my head and dizziness.

As far as I'm aware this is perfectly normal if you don't come off gradually and just stop abruptly. My mum also takes AD's and she said she gets the same feelings if she forgets to take her tablets.
