in the past I had bad anxiety and depression was put on sertraline from 50mg finally ending up on 200mg.
Recently I have had a relapse and have really bad anxiety again tried to cope on my own but couldn't do it so I have started taking sertraline again at 50mg this is the first day I'm so scared and anxious about taking it because I am full of anxiety atm but last time within 2 months I was back to my old self. Anyone on sertraline early stages atm?
Bonjour dusty
J'espère vraiment que le retour sur le sertraline aidera avec ton anxiété et ta dépression, mais il me semble que prendre ce médicament sera à long terme pour avoir un effet sur ton bien-être, je suis un peu nerveuse à l'idée de les prendre, car je viens de me les voir prescrire, car j'ai la même anxiété et avec cela l'apparition de la dépression, ce qui semble être un cercle vicieux. Bonne chance et je posterai lorsque je commencerai pour vous faire savoir comment je vais.
Mais je suis tellement contente d'avoir trouvé ce site web, car je ne suis pas seule avec cette maladie handicapante. ;
Hi Melita,
I will keep you up dated on how I am feeling. But right now I'm in a pretty bad way and think im going to have to leave work again.
Bonjour dusty
Désolé d'apprendre que vous ne vous sentez pas bien à nouveau, continuez à prendre le médicament, et
espérons que les choses sembleront plus lumineuses bientôt, vous devez avoir la foi en votre médecin généraliste
pour vous aider à traverser les mauvais moments, je ne sais pas quelle partie du pays
vous êtes, mais ici le soleil a enfin fait son apparition, espérons qu'il en est de même
chez vous, avez-vous de la famille pour vous soutenir en ces moments difficiles, car
ils aident. Bonne chance
Hi dusty...I'm in the same boat....felt good stopped taking sertraline...8 months later...Bang...I'm back on my sertraline now 3 weeks and still feel crap but gets better in the evenings...I'm gona stay on them much longer this time.
Hello, Rob I was wondering on how many mg you are on? I'm going on my 3rd week and my anixty was terrible today and was wondering if you have set backs?
Salut, juste pour vous informer j'ai commencé le cours hier soir et mon dieu, je ne savais pas ce qui m'est arrivé, pas de sommeil, un mal de tête lancinant et des heures matinales assis sur les toilettes et à vomir, ça vaut vraiment le coup ? et mon médecin généraliste a dit que je pourrais retourner au travail cette semaine, c'est une blague, je peux voir d'où vous venez maintenant
avez-vous aussi souffert de tremblements, je ne peux pas contrôler les tremblements de mes
mains, oh bien, jour un d'un très long chemin
je peux voir d'où vous venez tous
I'm on 100mg at the min but will probably be upping it again in the next few days to 150mg...it's normal to have increased anxiety for the first few weeks especially when upping your meds.
Hang in there 
Salut Rob
mon médecin m'a prescrit 50 mg et cela a été un choc total pour mon
système, donc je pense que tout dépend de la façon dont vous réagissez à la posologie
que vous prenez et si elle a un effet, sinon, je suppose
que votre médecin augmentera la posologie. J'espère que cela vous aidera
faites-moi savoir comment cela se passe
Hi Melita,
I'm on my second tablet today and as soon as I take it couldn't get off the toilet and went into a full blown panic attack I have as well had a massive headache.
But it is worth it in the end I hope I don't have to end up on 200mg again but it really is worth it.
What sort of anxiety do you suffer from?
I suffer from being a hypochondriac and the latest addition to my illnesses is that everything i put in my body is am having a allergic reaction to and I think that's what's caused my anxiety attack today as I was convinced that I had an allergy to the tablet. Hopefully in a few weeks when the tablets are in my system it takes those thoughts away.
Yes it is a very long toad but it's worth sticking out as non of us want to feel like this
I made that silly mistake a few weeks after I felt better came off a really high dose and a year later back to square one my GPS told me i should of at least been on the tablets for a year and should have never went cold turkey.
Hope you start to feel better soon.
Hi Teria,
How are you feeling today? I know I'm only on day 2 but I know this is going you feel like a lifetime by the time the tablets work.
We all need to stay strong support eachother and hang in there x
I'm feeling less anixty today, but I'm @ work keeping busy. I hope someday, I will be like I was when my anixty was controlled with the procentine (paxil). I'm trying too stay strong but, I have my days thinking that the pills won't work but, I'm only on week 3 on thursday Thank-You for asking how I feel.
Yes, we do need too stay strong and support each other. It helps
How are you doing on your second day?
I'm scared of uping my med. Affraid of the side effects and I go too the dr. friday and see what she has to say. Thank-You for the reply
Hi Teria,
I have been terrible today as soon as I took the tablet I have had nothing but anxiety convinced I'm having the side effects and an allergy to it I have no idea where my fear of allergy is coming from but everything i seem to put in my body I have an allergy to I'm only slim so can't really afford too loose weight either. I'm hoping these tablets will get rid of this thought and the constant thoughts that I'm dying
I'm glad your doing fine sometimes I really struggle at work but don't know what i would do without it.
You need to stay strong you have come this fair and you know you can get threw it again
Hello, ya I know about the dying part, don't think I'm breathing right because of my heart racing and fear having an anixty attack. It suxs. You will get through it. It sounds like the sertiline helped you before and I'm sure it will again. It's going too take time. I hope you start too feel better
Are you loosing weight because you don't want too eat from the med.
Hi Teria,
Yes I don't have a massive appetite I think that's because of my Anxiety heightening. Sertraline and CBT worked for me before I'm going to try physcotherapy this time. We just need to hang it will get better
What time do you take your medication?
Hi, I have the same problem with the anixty. I have my days where I can eat or days I can eat very little. I have loss weight but, I could stand too loose more. I have more energy on the sertraline then I had on the paxil. Maybe your Dr. can prescribe you a med. that makes you hungry and want too eat. I have seen it work on people who didn't feel hungry. I take my med. @ bed time because, of the side effects.
