Hi, I have been in Sert for 15 weeks now and 1.5 on 200mg. My anxiety had died down completely but depression still present. I tend to have low mornings atm and then I improve as the day goes on, however I an still 50%-60% at my best moments. Can I still have hopes for more improvements?
I think your doing well if your Anxiety has died down everyone is different and you havent been on it long.
My depression is getting better than it was but still nervy and get flash backs and tension head aches, which prove Sertraline react at different rates on different people
some people slower some faster.
so I suggest keep taking it and let us know how you are in a month.
you may get other more helpful replies.
Good Luck
i read that deppression is the last to go so hang on there and you will feel better by the time also dont count on the medication only try to engage yourself in activities or do anything you enjoy even if you dont feel like doing it .
i’m still at week 7 on 100 but i have good moments more than bad although when the bad moments hit due to my intrusive thoughts about testing how i feel and recall them back i get low motivation at the same time . i am also waiting for the full kick of sertraline . good luck for all of us .
Good luck ,I know deep down we will all feel better in time
You are doing awesome. Give it more time
Are you on Sert 200?
I am for 6 months or so now. It took me a good couple of months to level off, but the low points were nowhere near as bad as when I was on a lower dose.
Hi, thank you for your reply. Are you back now to your pre- depression usual happy self? Do you feel positive emotions now such as enjoyment, joy, excitement etc.?x
I haven’t known happy for years. I don’t know how to experience those feelings, never really have. But not calling in sick to work, getting out and doing stuff instead of lying in bed watching movies, to me that’s a major win.
Good! I hope Sert 200 allows me to feel some positive emotions again. I feel very calm since last week. All I need is improved mood.
Thanks for positive feed back john
Giggity. Thanks for positive feed back
well don Ala your getting there.
Giggty and Alan .
keep it up, never give up. Well done you have a fighting spirit.
I have felt the same.
Dont know why I have not felt happy for years, its been pure will power keeping me going for family that keep me going.
it must be brain chemicals and feelings as a child that gives us low self esteem.
Now with Sertraline Im determined to break the cycle not let people bully or put me down and do things to improve my happiness.
Your not alone.
we will all get there as another person has already put on here.
good to hear ala
