"sertraline has helped with my mood swings and unwanted thoughts. i take 50 mg and can instantly feel if i miss my dosage. i would like to ween off but have too much going on that i don&#039;t think i can handle alone. reasons i want to stop is memory loss, difficulty focusing, even struggle with people&#039;s names and i gain 20 lbs. for now the results outweigh the side effects but i&#039;m hopeful i can get to a better place soon so i can safely stop."
