Sertraline Withdrawal - Dangers of Discontinuation Syndrome (Zoloft) Side Effects 0 Views • 2 months ago

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.

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.

Why Antidepressants Make You Feel Worse - At First Side Effects 0 Views • 2 months ago

This problem of antidepressants making you feel worse can happen when we use it for anxiety or depression. With depression, you can feel even more depressed after you take it, but if you keep taking it, that effect wears off. The problem is more pronounced with anxiety. Taking it can make your anxiety spike and feel even worse than before you took the medication.

So why would we even use this medication to treat anxiety? Because the effect is usually transient, meaning it goes away after several days. For some people it may persist and then they have to stop the medicine, but it usually goes away.

Why does it happen?
Researchers from the University of North Carolina identified another pathway in the brain that gets activated with serotonin. Serotonin activates one pathway that helps mood and anxiety, but it also activates another pathway that increases a brain chemical called corticotropin releasing factor also called corticotrophin releasing hormone. This hormone is normally secreted in response to stress or a perceived environmental threat. This activates the body's fight or flight response that is intended to protect you from a threat. But when there is not real threat to respond to, you experience that adrenal response as anxiety.

The researchers found that serotonin can trigger this stress response through the corticotrophin hormone release. This finding has led to new research on a drug that can block this hormone during the initial phase of your treatment until you get fully onboarded with the antidepressant.

To address this problem, we start with a low dose of antidepressant and slowly increase the dose to reach a therapeutic dose (titration). Sometimes we will use When you are fully onboarded with your medication, your doctor would taper you off the benzodiazepine and you would remain only on the antidepressant to treat your anxiety.

Sertraline Side Effects Explained Side Effects 1 Views • 2 months ago

Starting Sertraline can be scary, the internet is full of terrible reviews but what side effects are you likely to face, and how difficult will it be? I take 50mg of Sertraline daily and it has changed my life. Taking antidepressants has given me the headspace to find happiness rather than wait for the SSRI to make me happy.

The side effects were challenging at first because I was at my lowest, and suddenly getting hit by nausea or an upset stomach wasn't something I really wanted but for me, I knew the jounrey would be worth it.
I made this video to share the reality of the common side effects of Sertraline because it can be scary when you start and feel like the only person who has had to go through this process.

My own experience with Sertraline really began in January 2020. I had taken prior to that but because I know better than someone who has spent years qualifying as a GP, I decided to stop taking Zoloft and manage it on my own. What an idiot. So January 2020 I managed to get to my GP and ask for a prescription. This started a journey that I wouldn't change, despite the challenges.

If you want to follow the entire journey you can watch my experience of Sertraline in the playlist below. I explain the side effects and progress daily during the first 2 weeks:

It is rewarding to see the shell I was on Day 0 vs the latest update. Well, I think so anyway. You will learn that Sertraline cause strange vivid dreams, upset stomach, headaches, anxiety, emotional mood swings, weight gain but then peace, and space to find my happiness.

If you are already taking Sertraline and have some questions, I also have a playlist that tackles the most commonly asked questions about taking an antidepressant:
