"i&#039;m a woman in my late 60&#039;s who has taken sertraline for several years. i started just crying in the beginning stages of menopause. my doctor started me on this med &amp; it helped greatly. after a couple years  tried going off with the assistance of my doctor however started crying again. so i went back on. worked in a stressful environment so the med worked well. after retiring i tried again to go off the med. thinking no more stress in my life it would be easier to do without any drug. not...i still started crying. so i&#039;ve decided i will stay on this drug as long as i can. i have had success with it. the only thing i struggle with is sweating.  my dosage is 50 mg daily."
