Do side effects occur when reducing the SSRI dose?
Do side effects occur when reducing the dose of ssri? I am in the process of stopping Asertin and have been taking 25 mg instead of 50 mg for a week (all after consulting a doctor). After a week of taking a smaller dose, I became tearful and my mood deteriorated, I have some strange thoughts and unjustified fears. Is this the result of a dose reduction or is there simply something still wrong with me?

Hello, I'm going through the same thing. He tries to wean himself off for the second time.
First, I had the dose reduced by half, now I take a pill for 4 and every month I subtract 1/4. And I also have fears. Feeling the anxiety during withdrawal is natural, because emotions that were previously somewhat masked return.
Reducing the dose by half is not a good idea for every person.

Yes, it is possible that reducing the dose of the drug has affected your mood and behavior. Gradual reduction of SSRIs is aimed at preventing the occurrence of side effects, but they will not always be avoided. The appearance of side effects is influenced by m.in factors such as the length of treatment and the size of the doses used. Unwanted symptoms have been reported during dose reduction or after discontinuation of sertraline, usually moderate in intensity and occurred within the first few days after discontinuation of the drug. If you cannot tolerate the symptoms described, please report it to your doctor. Through Gdziepolek there is a possibility to use teleconsultation: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja
