Been on Sertraline 100mg for nearly 10 weeks and I had two good weeks before entering week 10, now I feel sick, tired and have difficulty eating and focusing on TV etc is this a blip like I had before, Dr doesn't want to change meds or up dose.
Any experience would be nice to hear from you
Not sure I have been on 100mgs of sertraline for over 10 yrs up till 2 wks ago now on 150 but don't remember side effects being this bad 1st time Rd I'm on day 14 now still got high anxiety can't eat can't relax even in my own house
It's so horrible I usually have two good weeks followed by a crap week so hoping by next week I'll be back to good weeks again, I just want this feeling to go, the nausea affects me. It's so hard to no be anxious about being anxious if you know what I mean. I'm also hoping by 12 weeks all this will clear and I'll be back to normal
I know I've had enough I'm on hols this wk from work just don't know what to do with myself don't want to stay in on my own can't settle but also don't really want to go out vicious circle just hate feeling anxious all the time so can't eat then feel sick
I've been off work for all of mine, bosses are pretty understanding, and my parents live just up the road so spend all day with them and girl friend at night. So lucky there, I hate being on my own, I'm ok sleeping but once I'm awake I have to get up.

How come you went to 150mg after 10years?
Went to get my prescription as normal from boots and they said I needed a review with my doc so I booked into c him and he gave me the wrong tabs but had already taken 17 days worth and I messed all my head up so there coming out my system as same time sertraline increase trying to work
That's ridiculous, I hope by tomorrow your be better, they usually take 2-4 weeks to adjust. My dr is pretty useless and just keeps saying to keep going but it's so hard.
I know my husband is fuming cause he gave me hormone replacement tablets for someone who has had a hysterectomy and I'm not even going through the change yet so send my hormones crazy and panic attacks came bk with vengeance
I'm so sorry, that's ridiculous, fingers crossed for you - how long did it take the first time round to feel the benefits, I know 10years ago is a long time to remember.
That was a different story my ex husband farther of my 3 kids had multiple affairs and I ended up having a nervous breakdown so took me a good few mths and visit to mental hospital to get over that but what has p*ssed me off the most is I found the courage to take my 3 kids leave him get a new house a job I love and was so independent now he's done this feel like punching doc in face
Sorry I did reply but moderator deleted it abt 4 mths I think
Is yours for anxiety?
Mines for panic and anxiety
Yeah I'm not depressed just get panic attacks and high anxiety wish I was depressed think I could handle that better hate panicking all the time can't eat
That's reassuring that I'm still a month and abit off, it's hard to eat, if food isn't put in front of me I won't eat, my sex drive is dead, which isn't making my girlfriend happy
I know that's one of the side effects in males isn't I bet she not happy but is she understanding with yr anxiety and panic attacks
Yeah she understands to a degree but it's so difficult as the last two weeks I was pretty much normal and we were going for evening bike rides and I was eating like a pig and I even went for a swim in the sea, sex was also fine, and then this blip has happened again and I have no feelings and just generally anxious.
I know it's so hard cause they try to understand but if havnt had it they don't really I know I felt really like myself on Fri and work and thought brilliant then sat morning bang it's bk I hate anxiety so much
