17 years of success until I stopped in April

November 12, 2026

I’ve spent the last 6 months trying to recover from sertraline. I’ve been as low as 25mg and as high as 100mg and it has not worked. Went inpatient and now at 12.5mg and holding. Doctor had me start Clomiprimine at 25mg to help with terrible Night panic and anxiety. My body has been through so much. Looking for advice

Zoloft — 12.5 — 17 years — holding | Clomipramine — 25mg — 2weeks — holding | without clinician

I would not start a new drug to help you off another, that's poor advice from your doc and will only make things take longer. Your doc should have offered you the option of backtracking your current drug to say 15mg for a while instead. You should take things slow and carefully taper by tiny amounts and hold the drug your on if symptoms get too much.

Mirtazapine — 0.2mg — 1 year — actively tapering
