I started taking sertraline 50mg for a week then 100mg for just over four weeks. I feel so low and having panic attack 24/7 do i give til the 6 week mark or speak to my doc tomorrow about stopping or changing meds.
Have you noticed any changes? If yes then you may need to allow more time or may need higher dose? I am on 50mg but my gp did say it's usual to go up to 100 or 100mg to get a therapeutic level
Hi
I had a couple of good last at the beginning of the week but then thurs went really downhill and yesterday i was dreadful x
hi emma keep on taking them am nearing the end of week 4 on 50 mg going up to 100mg a would not say i am better but coping a lot better than when i started i am on them for ocd but in the past few weeks that has took a back seat due to the anxiety attacks i hope you get there x.
Emma,
Always communicate with your doc because finding the right med or combination of meds just for you can be a hit or and miss endeavor. But it will work out.

hi emma a just noticed your post you felt better and now you do not they done that with me a felt good monday and tuesday was even singing then bang back to earth but a felt good yesterday and am okay today a suppose its just the way it works.
Hi Emma, you could mention this to your doctor and perhaps suggest you 'decrease' the dose for a while, that might help the side effects!
I'm of the opinion that increasing the dose to quickly, especially if you are experiencing side effects, is not a good idea as the body does need to adjust to this medication.
Hope you're feel better soon.
