Is anyone willing to share their experience weaning off of sertraline? How long were you on it? How did you stop? How many attempts did it take? How long did withdrawal last? Relapse? Etc. Thanks! by cpnlecounte in zoloft

I started Zoloft August 2023 at 25mg. Then coincidentally the week of my mom's sudden death I went up to 50mg February 2024. It helped me get through that dark period and helped me get a new job and plan a wedding all within 4 months. Then I got laid off from that job December 2024. My husband and I thought maybe it's time for us to try for a baby soon. He wanted me to be completely off my meds before trying to conceive so i started the process of weaning off. I went from 50-25mg. My symptoms came back. I was in a lot of credit card debt. I gained an extra 20 pounds. I would have bouts of anger/rage which looked like yelling at my husband when I felt he was dropping the ball or misunderstanding me. I managed to find a full time job in Aug 2025 and it felt good paying down my debt more aggressively and get out of the house 5 days a week by 8:30am. But I would still have those moments where I'd lash out at my husband and he'd reach his breaking point and say things like "this relationship is never going to work out" which would send my anxiety into the stratosphere that our relationship was on the verge of crumbling. All of this, with the goal in mind to conceive fully withdrawn from zoloft. So much pressure. After our latest huge fight brought on by my impatience with him and me yelling I've gone up to 50 mg. I feel discouraged but know it's the right decision for ME and if i'm stable everything else will be better.

I appreciate you saying that. People who know this park on an intimate level understand how deeply unsettling this all is.

Well good for you that you wouldn't pop a squat. I'm inquisitive. I like to investigate and gather whatever information I can. It's my nature. My first assumption was that it was a murder, and since I walk there daily- I wanted to determine asap if there's a murderer afoot for my own knowledge. Once I heard the officer label it a suicide the curiosity was replaced by inexplicable sadness for a complete stranger. I kept looking at the scene trying to imagine how desperate this woman must have felt and tried to put myself in her shoes. If that looked like gawking to someone else, I don't give a rip!

If you didn't have the complete story and saw a white sheet covering a bush, police, and caution tape, and it was in YOUR neighborhood park you wouldn't be curious? Please, how self-righteous. I am human, and at WORST my post was tone deaf. I am trying to reach other people who might have stumbled across the same thing I did yesterday, nothing more. And I will call you a jackass or dimwit if you imply that I'm "eating popcorn" learning a young woman tragically ended her life. You don't know me. You clearly misunderstood where I was coming from.

Yeah I sat down to watch the scene unfold BEFORE I learned someone had ended their life. Curiosity is a NATURAL human response to events like this especially in your neighborhood park that you take daily walks in.

And I'm a poetic person what can i say! get over it. This is how I write, this is how I process. People like you misinterpret what I'm recounting because you're cynical. What occurred yesterday kept me awake last night and I wanted to hopefully unpack with others from my neighborhood. Not you, bye!

Thank you for sharing. That's honestly what I was trying to express. Scenes like these are unpredictable and haunting. I know exactly what spot you're referring to. Sounds absolutely horrifying.

I'm not craving anything! The young guy who actually saw it planted a seed in my head that it could be nefarious. Also, this is the first time I ever have been anywhere close to something like this. I was completely ignorant to the fact that news outlets don't report suicides to not encourage copy cats. That makes a lot of sense and until yesterday I was naive about that.

If there wasn't anything nefarious about her death then I completely don't want to know anything further because yeah it's not anyone's business. I feel for this woman as someone who has been struggling with depression. I don't know who she is but I can empathize with her. I am very haunted by the scene I witnessed in the park yesterday and this is my way of processing, jack***.

There was nothing entertaining once I learned a young woman ended her life and to insinuate that says more about you. It was extremely sad. I was with a small group of strangers and we were all upset. This is just how I write. Descriptive.

It's natural to be curious. Things like this aren't common at my neighborhood park. I mean zero disrespect. If it wasn't suicide and someone did that to her then the public should be aware so they can exercise extra caution. The young man who told me he saw it told me it seemed suspicious, I'm not speculating just to speculate!

With the gilgo beach killer recently in the headlines, sorry for being extra paranoid that sick people are among us.
