150mg is a high dose so i would think it would take a while to come off. i haven't come off sertraline before but i've come off other SSRIs and it's never really gone well for me so i would suggest that you have a lot of regular reviews with your doctor along the way. as far as i know sertraline comes in 50mg and 100mg tabs so the reduction would have to be in quite big jumps. so yeah basically i would suggest that you see your doctor very frequently and talk to the people around you about how you feel.
all the best
As omg hi has said it's definitely best to get some advice from your Doctor before changing or coming off your medication. The advice on this page may also be of some use to you?
Is there any reason why you are wanting to come off your medication?
Take care and keep posting
ermm i am unsure about coming off them, in away i want to stay on them, but my family are nagging at me to come off them :-\ because they are scared i will be a nervous wreck when i come of them, i am feeling a bit low at the moment, but i just want to be happy and my friends and family. Think it is a good idea to go to the doctors, been putting it off for a while now. Thanks again
i've been taking antidepressants for 6 years. whenever i've come off them i've got ill again. i guess they are just something i need and i'm ok with that. there's no set timecourse; you come off them when you are good and ready, there's no reason for you to be a nervous wreck because you will do it slowly.
take care x
