@briarrose , i have been taking Sertraline for almost 30 years. At times i have been able to wean myself off for a few months at a time. I started at the low dose , but have been taking 150 mg for the last 10 years. It has been so long since i started taking the medicine, i don’t remember what ssri i tried before.

Hi walk4life,
Wow, 30 years on Zoloft! I thought I was a record when I was on mirtazapine for 22 years 🙂
Don't know your age but is 150 mg. high? My 67 y.o. husband is on 50 mg. for 7 years now with never a side effect (lucky him) and it helped him immediately for awful anxiety.
It's still working and he probably will never come off it. Right now he has no intention of.
But I suppose the bottom line is if 150 mg. of Zoloft is working for you and giving you mental health well being why play around with it? Unless it's not effective anymore or you wish to change your medication or even stay off of it? Don't know your circumstances but hope all is well in your particular situation.
