Hi everyone! My name is Alissa and I started sertraline about 6 wks ago. I started at a very low dose 12.5mg and slowly increased to 50mg. I'm sensitive to these medications so my Dr started me on the lowest dose. It has been a very hard couple of months. I thought this discussion board could help with supporting and encouraging each other. Please Flood this board with your Positive experiences with sertraline. I have severe anxiety (GAD) and it always helps for me to talk about things. We are in this together and here to support each other! Xo xo
I was on sertraline for 2 years i felt ok still had xanax for in case cause once in a while i would still get anxiety attack from the blue,zoloft i was prescribed by my general doctor 2 years later i m seeing psychiatrists regulary so i guess it didn't help me too much but like i said everybody's different
Hope u feel better
Hi Eva, I'm sorry to hear it didn't help very much. May I ask what dose you were on for the 2 years and if you had to increase it? I also have xanax just in case. Were you taking it for anxiety or anxiety & depression? What is helping you now?
Hello!
When I first started taking sertraline I felt "high on life" and was the happiest I had been in years. This was short lived for me but I wish the best for you. ❤
