Sertraline withdrawal in two brothers: a case report.
Two case histories are reported describing sertraline withdrawal in two brothers. The case histories document withdrawal symptoms of (1) dysequilibrium (2) dysesthesias (3) dizziness and (4) a flushing sensation. The literature of selected serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) withdrawal is reviewed. Advocated is the monitoring of patients' withdrawal symptoms from SSRI's even when prescribed at modest doses.
