Q: I am 40 years old and for the past 7 months I have been using Serta 50 mg (for anxiety). After the doctor's advice, I reduced the dosage to 25 mg for the last one month. Now, I am not taking it since 15 days and I have the following problems: whenever I move my eyeball sideways, I hear a peculiar sound in my head (similar to the sound when you turn a paper). Also I feel tired and have a headache. Please give some solution.

A:At times one can experience withdrawal symptoms, when reducing and stopping Sertraline. This should not last very long, but if they persist after a month, you should consult your doctor again. Drink plenty of fluids, water mainly, eat balanced meals, indulge in physical and mental exercise.
