Hi all I’ve been on 100mgs of sertraline now for 5 and half wks. I’m feeling very inpatient thinking they’re not going to help me. I worry all the time about my family which makes my anxiety even worse. Any advice or reasureance . The doctor as told me to stay on this dose for at least 8wks. But I don’t know wether I shud up my dose to 150mgs or just stick at 100mgs 🌹
Hi Debra stuck with it a bit longer upping the dose will put you back to square one ... I have found both times I have been on this mess you need to give it 6-8 weeks on each dose change ... it will happen we do t have patience when we have anxiety it’s awful ... this medication is a godsend for me and a lot of others too .. x
Meds not mess lol
Deffo stick to the current dose, have you felt any slight improvement yet?
Just stay on that side for st least 8 weeks , sertraline takes time to sort out and adjust in the body, but I know how you feel, stay positive and think about all the things you will do once yiur feeling better. X
Thank you so much lattifa 🌹
Thank you so much natalie🌹 how long was it before you felt like ureself again 🌹
Yes I’ve had slight improvement. But I’m so inpatient I just want to feel like myself again. I still can’t sleep without sleeping tablets tho. But if that’s the only way to get to sleep then I’m going to have to keep taking them. R u feeling bk to ure normal self yet? And if so how long did it take 🌹
I’ve been on 50 mg for 7 weeks and I’m finally starting to feel somewhat better. I would def stay on the dose you’re ate. Give it time. We need to adjust. I’m still waiting for my appetite to come back. I can eat but I just don’t feel hungry. Also I still get some anxiety but not nearly as much. I’m sure this will also fade in a few weeks.
It’s hard to say I look back now and I guess realistically it would have been 8-10 weeks but I was a lot better than myself lol ! The weird sleeping habits Toileting habits etc took a few months to settle but once everything settles it was so Much better than before I went on the meds ... I have Been on and off the medication three times because I think I am all fixed then unfortunately both times the anxiety came back so went back on and this time staying on for much longer
