Hi
Can you at least lower the dose until you see your psychiatrist ?

Oh sorry to hear that!!
Well you must atop them immediately , and consult a psychiatrist ,however I recommend replacing them with yoga,breathing techniques ,music meditation, open air brisk walking ,these will help you the best.

Hi..
Yes, hallucinations is a side effect of Sertraline..
Stopping it suddenly can cause withdrawal effects but as it is just 5 days I do not think it might have caused any dependence..
However to be on a safer side you can consult an Emergency room and get assured after a proper clinical examination..

Hope this helps..
