Reassurance please ( sertraline 100mg )

nh_user_909391 · January 8, 2019, 7:49pm

i am taking 100 mg week 6 now and from 50 to 100
been 2 months now in total , i still feel anxious the feelings of when the heart drops as if riding a roller coaster and it dropped from top to bottom .
i get this feeling when my thoughts start thinking about it and about going somewhere or doing anything .
i had this before 2 yes ago and i was on sertraline 100 which worked great then .
i stopped the medicine for 2 months as i felt all back to my normality .
i dont remember how long it took me to feel better and normal self again .
i need reassurance plz and if you feel like dropping heart as scared ?
thanks guys .

hi dodo, I think, although I maybe wrong, that the feeling you are getting is adrenal rushes, it is ok nothing bad will happen just our fight or flight system kicking in. when I got these I would just try to relax, take a deep breath and tell myself its ok just the meds. week 6 is still a bit early to feel full effect but you are doing well, you have come through the worse so now it is a case of smoothing off the rough edges and improving more every week. I am at week 13 and am 90 percent better. Be strong and hang on in there you will soon be back to where you want to be

im in the same position as you, on week 5 at 100mg, after been on it last year and tapering off, it seems like a slow long journey at moment

to dodo.
keep taking Sert . Im about a month on from you and only just feeling more positive. had heart like you, now getting less.
If you Read the other peoples positives it takes a long time to be completely working.
sending healing thoughts.
plan to do something every day, even if just a walk.

How are you doing?

nh_user_909391 · January 9, 2019, 9:07pm

thanks its so unbearble sometimes . althought i was on sertraline before but its hard to cope the feelings .

nh_user_909391 · January 9, 2019, 9:08pm

yes it is , this med is like walking turtle .

nh_user_909391 · January 9, 2019, 9:11pm

i don’t know exactly if its working or still . i have the thoughts that makes the anixety up to the roof throught the day but it eases faster and then back and so on
so to be honest i cant say i’m good and also i can’t say i’m not. i do not know if you get what i mean .
