Since being on Sertraline it’s been a rough ride. I would say I am a lot better and for the most part since starting it and getting over side affects it’s been good. I had a miscarriage in December, it was heartbreaking but I coped with the help of family and friends.
I’ve been back to work and manage much better. Today I am feeling awful. My period is 10 days late and I’m not pregnant. Every time my period is due, the anxiety starts. When my period starts I go back to feeling like me again. I woke up with my back burning and feeling panicky. I came downstairs and talked to my Family on he phone. I calmed down so much. I find talking and writing how I feel really helped.
I used a meditation app and fell asleep on the sofa. Woke up feeling so much better. I feel like it’s coming in waves.
I don’t want to up my dose so will hope my period comes and keep going. Normally it calms. God bless

Hi Ida, thanks for the reply. Docs gave me propananol to take if I get a bad anxiety attack. I don’t use them as last time I felt worst.
It may just have been because I just started out on Sertraline. I was on Fluoxetine in the past and came off. When I took them again it was so bad that they changed meds to Sertraline. Mostly it works fine but because of periods It gets bad. Have you been on meds for long? Thank you 🙏
Yea Hope. .bout 6wks now. .But have felt slightly better in this past week after being put up to 100mgs. .side effects have subsided. .please God it continues. .was on other meds b4 these. .But find the sertraline is working. .apart from a limited appetite. Keep strong. Not easy. I know. God bless
