Hi all, Im 47 and I really don't know what to do? I've increased my Sertraline from 50mg to 100mg for just over 4 weeks for horrible anxiety and some low mood with perimenopause, I suspect and I feel horrible.... very shaky and anxious with weak legs today.... I really don't know what to do 😥 do I stick it out? I felt better a week ago now I feel vile 😥 not sure if it's perimenopause symptoms that have ramped up because it feels like it or the increase in Sertraline.... surely I would have had side effects before 4 weeks? please help. I've tried HRT patches and they didn't work after 12 weeks xxxxx
ssri’s have a delayed reaction when you increase or decrease, take it from a pro x
Hi Toria! thank you for your message 
can I ask, what did you do about it? xx
hey lovely, im currently tapering off an ssri as unfortunately it changed my personality, was put on them before peri, but i know when i updosed i felt awful weeks later, the same when i reduce, magnesium helps the anxiety x
Oh bless you, you’ve been through the mill. I tried Magnusium Glycinate 500mg and 1000mg for a while and I don’t think it worked much xxx
glycinate is the better one, have you tried epsom salt baths (magnesium)? also are you cutting down on sugar and drinking plenty of water? thats only a little bit of my story to be honest, i could write a book, i may do when this is all over and call it ( what doctors dont know ) haha x
