Hello! I am curious, did you start the Sertraline? I tried last week (2 days 25 mg doses) the second morning I woke up with a bad panic attack. Is this normal? I havent had a panic attack in a year before that so I am 99.9% sure it was due to the medicine :( I stopped taking it because it scared me but am desperate for relief from this nightmare I am living.
hi! I am on 50mg and soon will be hesding into my 5th week on it. I was in a really rough headspace when i started it. I was not eating anything, felt like i was in a constant state of panic, couldnt focus on anything, had no will to live, and couldnt sleep at night. It honestly has helped me a lot with the eating and panic attacks but it took close to two weeks for that to happen. I know its hard, the mental pain i experienced the last few months have been torture and the fact that this med is a waiting game is very scary but the fact that i can get out of the house and focus on my school work and future is a win This has helped me start to get out of that long anxious/depressive episode. i had basically all of the side effects but i wasnt even phased because of how bad i was beforehand. You got this and i hope you are doing ok!
