Someone close to me is doing the same. Sertraline isn't easily available in tiny dose increments useful for weaning off gradually, and its half life isn't very long, so missing or reducing a dose is almost immediately noticeable for some people. A strategy that's helped is cross-titrating and switching to Prozac. Because Prozac has a massively longer half life it's a much smoother ride while you're gradually reducing it.

Generic sertraline comes in pill/tablet form, you can just use a pill splitter to get smaller increments. I just googled to confirm this before posting, and they're even scored down the middle for easy splitting.
