Hi...im here again ...my sertraline adventure continues. I am now on 100mg and although my full blown panic attacks have stopped I am still finding great difficulty in doing ordinary everyday tasks. If i exert myself at all I get palpitations and feel as though I can't breath. I have to sit down or I feel I would collapse. It's like the begining of a panic attack ...im getting really fed up..been on sert since Dec.. 25mg then 50 then 75 and now 100 for the last week and a half. Other side effects have not been as bad with the last increase ...im sleeping better although I feel like I've been run over when I wake up. I have zero stamina
Anyone else relate to the way I feel...its so hard to explain. I still can't really go out and don't want to become agrophobic

Hi there. Poor you, I know how difficult it all is and really feel for you. I myself started on Sertraline in December and have slowly increased to 100 mg. Maybe you could try other things to help with your energy levels. Vitamin c in large ammounts really boosts you up . Emergency C from Holland and Barrett I find keeps me more supported, and I have 3 x sachets a day. Its full of other vitamins and minerals that we are often depleted of. Just a thought, and hope you start to feel much better soon. Wishing you all the very best.
Hi Hoopz
I’ve just been to my Surgery for a review of my 50mg Sert. I was told that they usually work in a couple of weeks!! Haha, I beg to differ. I am still anxious since my breakdown at the beginning of December 2017. I hate being in the house alone and become frightened. I have really bad tinnitus which has become worse on sert as well. I’m able to go out in the afternoons for a while but mornings are tricky. I live alone and don’t want to become a recluse.
I’m also having homeopathy treatment and Clinical hynotherapy, both are expensive but something to hold on to.
Could it be that your confidence is low and causing some of your symptoms too.
Give yourself time but try to give yourself a little push through the wobbles too.
