Hi, I'm HarveyClan2

I started sertraline in early March 2026, and after 5 months I’m starting to plan a taper I’m currently tapering Propranolol, from 60mg, currently at 20mg My doctor said I could just quit sertraline cold turkey as it’s such a ‘low dose’ and the residual side effects I was experiencing had three options: put up with it, change medication, or up the dose. I didn’t like any of those so I’ve decided I’m tapering off all of it. Here for people’s first hand experiences and tips.

Zoloft — 50mg — 5 months — researching taper | Inderal — 20mg — 6 months — actively tapering | without clinician

Welcome, HarveyClan2! Glad you're here. It's smart to question the cold turkey advice, many folks find a slow approach much gentler on the nervous system. You can find a taper calculator insthe side bar under taper planner. Slow and steady wins the race :)
