Hey all
I’m on day 1 of week 8 of my increased sertraline dose.
I honestly dont think it’s working 
I wake up and feel shaky I have negative thoughts that last hours.
I get extremely anxious just walking and doing normal stuff.
I know its mind over matter and I do try think positive most of the time but I do feel like giving up I just want to live a normal stress free life.
I have just been offered free CBT so maybe that will help..
anyone else feel the same?
big hugs xx
Hi
I recently went from 100mg to 150mg and I had a horrible time for 2 weeks felt a feeling of emptiness and had sweats and I cried a lot!!, but it was worth perservering. I feel so good now so please stick at it you will feel better I promise you. CBT will def help you take care and hang in there.

hi . 8 weeks is still too early. i didnt feel any better until the 12/13 week mark and then it was a huge difference. give it a bit more time before making any changes. its hard to be patient i know but all of a sudden you wake up one day and realise you feel pretty good!
do you think that when you have a dose increase you should give it another 2/3 months like when you first started. im on 8 weeks of dose increase from 50 to 100 and feel a bit jittery
