Saffron and sertralin
Tapering off sertralin/zolof
Some years ago I had a trans aschemic attack ( mini stroke)
Along with all the tests the doc gave me prescriptions for 5 different BP drugs and one for sertralin . They suggested that when you have a stroke you are prone to anxiety.
And sure enough one day walking along a got anxiety. Hence the sertralin , I went on in and have been on it for 6 years. 50 mg daily.
Now I’m back to normal and life is good. So I researched saffron . I am going to try breaking my tablet in half so instead of 50mg of sertralin per day I will take 25 plus 165mg of saffron.
I will report back on the journey/ withdrawal and see if in fact it’s possible to replace sertralin 25 mg with saffron .
I know we were not meant to take sertralin for ever and so I do hope even if I can substitute saffron for half my original sertralin dose I will be very grateful.
