AIDE. 7 semaines sous Sertraline

2 weeks on 25mg 5th week on 50mg.

I suffer with General anxiety and agraphobia.

I took my situation up with my doctor after I started feeling depression setting in.

My physical symptoms of depression have gone completely which is nice. I feel like I want to actually get up and do things again.

For the last two weeks though my anxiety has got very bad, anxious all day at work and in any social situation.

I go on holiday in 2 weeks to Florida and see my doctor on Thursday. I don't know whether to up my dose to 75/100mg and hope that eases my constant anxiety on holiday or does anyone know of any other alternative drug that can help ease the anxiety atleast for the next few weeks while I am away.

I don't want this to stop me living a normal life but at the moment it's stopping me doing a lot of things I want to do.

Hi Mikey. I'm on week 8 'now and exactly the same- been feeling much happier but suddenly the knot in the stomach is back. Maybe that's normal so it will be helpful to hear from others. Hang in there and I hope you feel better soon

Check with your doctor and tell everything you are feeling! 

Salut Mikey,

Je me demandais ce que tu pensais des effets que tu as eus avec 25mg de Sertraline ? Je prends 25mg depuis 11 jours et j'ai des bons jours et des mauvais, mais plus de mauvais. Je prends aussi 80mg de Propranolol par jour. Je me demande si je dois augmenter ma dose à 50mg maintenant, car c'est ce que le médecin m'avait initialement prescrit, mais je suis vraiment inquiet(e) à propos des effets secondaires accrus. Quelles sont tes expériences ?

Hi Amy

The side effects I've had haven't really changed from 25mg to 50mg. I have felt much more tired at work, I take mine at night so the side effects arnt the worst but I have been wondering if I should try take them in the morning as it could be the reason I'm still getting very anxious at work.

Other side effects have been waking up in the early hours and not feeling tired at all and struggling to get back to sleep.

When do you take your tablets amy ?

I wouldn't worry about going up doses, there hasn't been a big difference in side effects apart from higher anxiety which I'm hoping settles down.

Je les prends juste avant de me coucher aussi. J'ai pensé que si jamais il y avait des effets secondaires, je les dormirais. Je pense que je vais prendre 50 mg ce soir et voir comment je me sentirai demain. Mon anxiété est déjà à son comble, donc pour être honnête, elle ne peut pas être plus élevée.

What type of anxiety do you suffer from ? How does it make you feel ?

Yes, don't be worried about taking 50mg it's still a very low dose. I think I will be taking 75/100 mg by Thursday. I just hope my anxiety has eased by time for my holiday next weekend

Je souffre de TDAH et d'anxiété sociale. Cela me donne des sensations de panique, des palpitations cardiaques et un malaise physique général.

Je viens de prendre 50 mg, donc j'espère que je vais bien et qu'ils agissent bientôt, car je ne peux pas en supporter beaucoup plus.
