maymomNY, if I admit that I routinely drink wine even while I was on meds and bfing, will that make you feel better? Granted, it's usually from a box but making it to M's bedtime was often cause to celebrate! ;-)
I can't remember exactly when I started tapering down my sertraline but I took my last dose a little over 3 weeks ago. I was surprised by how strong my withdrawal symptoms were. Not to scare anyone. I'm still glad I'm stopping to test myself out. But if I hadn't known what to expect, I'd have really been in trouble. It was intense for me.
I'm giving it until at least July before deciding whether I need to start meds up again. I'd been strongly questioning my choice but it's been a tougher time than here. We're still figuring out M's GI stuff which means lots of food restrictions for both of us, M hit an especially rough patch with sleep, DH is gone for work a LOT so I've got almost no help (or company) at home, that sort of stuff. But M slept in until 5:30 today and took a long 2nd nap which afforded me the time to exercise (and shower. Woot!) and I know that makes a gigantic difference for me.
