I. as well cannot tolerate the SSRI's or SNRI's and had a horrible experience with seratonin syndrome a while back, however, it was not with Sertraline but another SSRI and I had been put on the maximum dose. I am not a physician, however at such a low dose of 12.5 mg, I would think, it surprising if you had any withdrawal symptoms. Just be aware of what your body is telling you, push fluids and notify the physician if you note any changes.
