Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I was at 50mg for nearly 8 months. I am on day 2-3 of 25mg and plan to stay at 25 for a bit.
So far nothing out of the ordinary. Slight headaches at times. Not bad but I am also three days into a strict diet so it could be that causing the headaches.
Anyone have experience decreasing their dose from 50 to 25?
Thanks

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.

Taking it slow will help reduce the symptoms significantly from overwhelming to minor.
Here's to you finding the better balance naturally and using what you know about how your anxiety is affected to improve your balance.
Best wishes.
Make sure you are decreasing/changing doses.... under your psychiatrist's supervision. You were on Zoloft a long time, and there is a Right and a Wrong way to change the dose. Please do this under your psychiatrist's care.
Also, are they putting you on a different anxiety medication instead? Because the old anxiety symptoms will come right back as you go off the Zoloft.
Please check with your psychiatrist.
When I first started ramping-up to ~50 mg, I could detect the side effects. If I stopped taking it because I forgot my pills for trip, the side effects were even more noticeable than when I was ramping-up. When I return home and was able to take my pills, the side effects went away quickly.
I'm now taking 200 mg because of a bad health problem in my family. With my doctor's help, I have dropped down to 100 mg at times without major problems.
As the others wrote, please work with your doctor when transitioning dosages. You'll probably observe side effects, but most likely not too severe.
Hope this helps.
