I started sertraline 50 mg 5 weeks ago. The first few weeks were horrendous but I made it through, the next few weeks were up and down with anxiety but it seemed my panic attacks were way better. Yesterday was horrible so today I decided to take the leap to 75mg with my doctors approval. He eventually wants me at 100mg but I want to increase slowly to minimize side effects. I thought I was seeing light at the end of the tunnel but now I'm feeling discouraged again! I just want off this rollercoaster and most importantly want my life back!!! PLEASE ONLY ENCOURAGING REPLIES!!! Just some reassurance would help! Thanks!
Hi, I am on sertraline, 0.75 mg. and it has worked wonders for my anxiety. I have been very happy with the effect. it made me slightly more anxious in the beginning, but not too much.
Hope you get better soon
Thank you for your encouraging post! Did you start at 75mg or work your way up? And how long until you felt better? Thanks!
