Still having morning anxiety and still having trouble staying out of my head. Anyone else on sertraline take this long to start feeling really good? Trying to stay strong but getting discouraged .
I am tempted to say that it doesn't make you feel good but that is my personal experience, and everyone is different. What it did for me is to rob me of feeling ... okay it stabilized my mood, but at the expense of not feeling any 'joie de vivre.' just became a walking dead. It happened so slowly that I did not realize it until I had a situation where I knew I should be motivated into action ... and couldn't give a damn.
As I said elsewhere ... there should be discussion at the time of being prescribed sertraline regarding the coming off it when the time is right.
I also believe that whatever medication is prescribed for mental or emotional disorders, that it should be only in conjunction with psychotherapy.
It does sound that you might not be on the right medication for your condition. Bring it up with your doctor.
Hiya I'm on week 3 of 50mg sertraline, also have anixety in the morning, I take diazepam which helps with that. It's a struggle everyday but stay positive.
Je peux rapporter quelques points positifs, dans six semaines ce vendredi. J'ai ressenti une différence assez rapidement, mais cela ne signifie pas que ce soit le cas pour tout le monde. Avant cela, je prenais de la Mirtazapine depuis avril, ce qui avait été efficace il y a 12 ans, mais pas cette fois-ci. En fait, je me sors d'un trou plus profond que si j'avais commencé par de la sertraline au lieu de la mirtazapine, mais comment le savoir ? Je suppose que vous devez peser les avantages que les médicaments vous apportent. Cela peut prendre plus de temps, je crois, pour l'anxiété. Si les négatifs l'emportent sur les positifs après quelques semaines de plus, retournez chez votre médecin généraliste, mais parlez-leur-en maintenant. Ils peuvent décider qu'un changement doit être fait plus tôt ?
