4.5 weeks on 30mg and woke up soooooo depressed!
Someone else tell me this is normal and it will pass. It’s horrible. I’ve had it in and off but not this bad this is horrible.. So naturally it’s making my anxiety worse 
smells seem to be triggering it a lot aswell and this is really worrying x I don’t know what’s causing what anymore and just feel completely hopeless and stuck.
feel like I’m gonna be trapped like this forever
Been on 40mg for almost 6 weeks now and it’s about the same. Been doing really good at 2-4 weeks, but on the 5th week I had a major setback.
Starting to come around a little bit the past few days tho.
I’m hoping it’s the same for you!
thanks for replying nina x how bad was your setback bless you?
mine was horrific. a really really bad depression for no reason x it’s been one really tough tough day x
I’m glad you’re starting to come round a little now x hopefully tomorrow will be a little better for you x
Well I went from having panic attacks only at night to none at all for awhile, then having them back at night to even having them in the day.
So yea… it was a really bad setback. Now I’m just kind of on edge because I know what my anxiety is capable of, and even when I felt almost back to myself, I’m still vulnerable regardless and I think that’s what made it really really hard this time.
At best I feel OK, but it’s like I’m too afraid to be happy or appreciate anything anymore in case it comes back. The last two days tho been a bit easier on me, but I still wish I could go back to that 70-80% of feeling like myself like I did a few weeks ago. I really thought I was better and was going to enjoy Christmas but I was wrong. I’m just waiting now for it all to be over.
The random depression/anxiety will always be hard because of the fact it’s random.
hi p im really sorry youve had such a bad day. we all seem to be having blips at the moment. im sure its just a blip. hopefully you feel better tomorrow xx
hi p, how you feeling today? i hate the smell thing its horrible, i can be on my morning walk and walk passed a house that has a dog in and literally smell it from the kerb!!! also cant stand perfume or aftershave etc etc
Hi seem to remember you were on sertraline before did it make you feel worse? Wondering whether to switch been on 50mg dropped to 37 for a week as was feeling awful then went up to 50mg again couple weeks ago, and anxiety worse than ever. Will give it a bit longer but been 7 weeks and feel awful!
all the dose changes wont be helping x
you have to stop fiddling with your dose!the more you do dose changes med changes, the less your going to see that light at the end of the tunnel.
Going to try slightly lower dose Virtually housebound since increasing to 50mg, didn’t affect me when I lowered dose. Got appointment with GP in 3 weeks will have been on it about 11 weeks then. Beginning to regret having ever started them as haven’t helped at all and so far making me feel worse. Get what you are saying about dose change but think 50mg just giving me too many side effects."
I feel ya. Im definitely in a blip or whatever you want to call it. I hope yours lets up soon!
Lois,
14 weeks on 50 sertraline. Reduced the luvox down to 12.5 from 25mgs . im taking a .125 of klonopin. Slow improvement. should i stay at this dose.
