There will be discontinuation symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.

I have read your query and understood your concerns.

Setrona is a brand name of the the drug sertraline which is a antidepressant and anti anxiety drug. If you are taking the drugs for long time then if you stop suddenly there will be discontinuation symptoms.

These symptoms are as under:
Anxiety, restlessness, increased heart rate, headache, dizziness, poor sleep and appetite, irritability etc. In severe cases it can cause confusion and unconsciousness.

If you are not experiencing any symptoms after 5 days of stopping it then you need not worry but if it appears then visit your prescribing doctor and ask for help.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further query then I shall be happy to help.
Wish you good health.
