Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
Antidepressants (setraline in your case) when stopped suddenly, can cause withdrawal symptoms.
The most common withdrawal symptoms are:
1. anxiety,
2. confusion,
3. irritability,
4. disturbed sleep and appetite.
5. Fatigue and headache,
6. Brain zaps
To prevent these symptoms, gradual tapering of dose is recommended.
I would advise you to restart with your drug and reduce the dose gradually.
Keep a regular follow-up with your doctor.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to discuss further.
Kindly close the discussion if you have no more queries and give your valuable feedback.
Thanks.
