Q: i would like to stop taking sertraline eventually. im on 50 mg. can i cut the tabs in half? or can i start taking them every other day?
Jeanine, we aren't medical professionals and this is something that you need to discuss with your prescribing doctor. He/she will know what the best way is to come off this medication and whether or not that is the best thing for you to do. It's important to have your dotor's support while doing this.
Sorry I can't be of more help, but I'm sure your doctor will know how to go about this in the safest way. Thanks for your question.
