I started Sertraline 25 mgs 6 weeks ago today i upped ot to 50 mgs after two weeks. I had the usual side effects of nausea, zero appetite and feeling zoned out. I also developed the feeling of the urge to have to pee all the time. It was awful along with heart palpitations but thankfully those have seemed to have subsided at week 5. As far as my anxiety, I Felt most of that go away in the beginning and aside from the side effects have felt mostly great. Now in week 6 my anxiety has come back full force and I seem to be having weird moments of dark intrusive thoughts that I never had before in my life. Is it normal for this to come flowing in at week 6? I dont like this and am not sure what to do.
I have just read a post somewhere where a couple of people mentioned that they took a bit of a dip about 6weeks in, so it’s not unheard of.
I would say stick with it and see if you improve over the next week or so and see If it passes for you xx
Yes, I too got those feelings. Week 6 was horrible. I don’t like the way you can feel like everything seems to be progressing and then all of a sudden you feel really bad and think your going backwards. Hand in there…
