hi everyone I suffered bad with depression and anxiety for a few years without treatment, it all came to ahead in may this year when I was going days without sleep or leaving the house and having suicidal thoughts, i started taking sertraline 50 mg and zopiclone to help sleep it took around 2-3 months for me to feel myself again after upping dose to 100mg sertaline I stopped taking the zopiclone
, I started taking 50mg of promethazine to help with the ongoing sleep issues. five months down the line I feel the best I have for many years the only problem is I am still taking promethazine 50mg every night to sleep is this safe and is there any advice you could give to what options I have, I’ve heard people say insomnia is a big side effect of sertraline but I dont want to stop taking sertraline because of how well my mental health has improved
Did you ever experience DEPERSONLIZATION with your ANXIETY?
No not that I am aware of is this connected to insomnia?
jodi did you feel more anxiety when starting sertraline
no its a symtom of ANXIety when you feel like a zombie
ah right, no fortunately never had that, doesn't sound very pleasant. do you suffer with it?
Did you get increased anxiety some days the first month
yes a lot of symptoms felt heightened at the start, going for walks or going to the gym regularly helped for me
