I Have Been Taking 100mg Of Sertraline For 6 Months

I have been taking 100mg of sertraline for 6 months now, but recently I forgot to take them for probably close to a week.

I then started feeling dizzy, fatigued, drowsy, and overall crappy.

I did some research and apparently those are withdrawal symptoms of the medication.

I just started back up on it again, but is taking 100mg safe and okay after not taking it for a week?

I only ask because when I started sertraline I went from 25mg, to 50, to 75 to 100 over a few months time.

Any information provided about this is appreciated, thanks!
