Why Am I Experiencing Withdrawal Symptoms After Reducing Zoloft Dosage?
hi, i have been taking zoloft for about 3 years. this past month my doctor decreased it to 100mg, and i was fine. but for the past 3-4 days, i have been experiencing withdrawls like i have when i miss a pill, even though i am still taking my meds. i dont know why i’m experiencing this.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Sometimes the withdrawal symptoms and symptoms of anxiety relapse could be same. As your doctor has reduced your dose recently, it is a possibility that your anxiety-depression might be relapsing. Kindly visit your doctor for re-examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shubham Mehta
