day 16 on sertraline

hi all just wanted to share my story, suffered with panic attacks 10 years ago just came out of the blue, docter perscribed anti-depressants and after 6 weeks i was fine stopped taking them 8 years ago and was fine till november last year, just felt anxietious, tearful hated leaving the house! went to see my gp who prescribed sertraline, was really scared of taking them cause of the side effects but so glad i did, had most of the side effects but day 12 i feel like my old confident self and feel great every day!

Brilliant I'm on day 14 and still getting that feeling I need to breath in loads of fresh air I never had panic attacks was just my mood high or low never in the middle always negative to partner. I did start to get panic attacks with this new medication horrible just can't wait to feel normal again x

I've been on them 4 days. Panic, tears, stay in bed, not going outside ...

Hi, i've been on 50mg for 16 days. Not been able to go out too. Still very anxious but been to my local shop today on my own, iys only a two minute walk but its a start. Hopefully you will be able to get out soon x

hi i take mine 1st thing in the morning with a biscuit or toast, it does get better x

 

the side effects were terrible for me, i slept most of the day too 

thats all u can do is take 1 day at a time, i have taken my kids to school all week and havent fallen apart at the gates x

That's interesting, I've never had a buiscuit on toast usually have jam! I'll give that a try in the morning 😃

Good, fine sometimes a Sertraline headache.

Each day getting better but after I eat I get sweats I just go for a lay down when I get panics and open a window do some deep breathing x thinking of you all x

I just hope it stops by next Monday as my little girl is due x
