Hi everyone
5weeks on 50mg 4 weeks on 100mg the back dorm to 75 mg for 2 weeks now back up to 100 for 4 days what can you notice when your feeling better it's just been a long time and still no joy
I'm not sure u should feel a lift in yr mood and less anxiety if u have anxiety I'm on day 21 of increase now last night I felt good for a few hrs but anxious this morning x
Hi, it does take a while to get into your system. With every increase u should wait 6-12 weeks to feel any benefits. I was on 50mg for 8 weeks then upped to 100mg and I would say it take take around 10-12 weeks for me to start feeling like my old self. It does get worse before it gets better, so if u can try and get through the rough days, then good will soon be round the corner. I have now been on 100mg for around 6 months and I feel so much better. I do still have the odd horrible day but I know how to get through it. I also took rescue remedy to get me through the rough days. Have u heard of it?? X
Hi Tracey, what mg r u on and how long have u been on sertraline overall? It does take around 6-12 weeks to level out. I used rescue remedy to get me through and it really did help. Also im learnt how to knit to take my mind off the anxiety x
Hi vikki I'm on 150 have been on 100 for yrs this is day 21 of increase just want the anxiety to lift it's not quite as bad as the wk end but still there xx
Have u tried rescue remedy Hun? Also did the 100 just stop working for? X
No havnt tried rescue remedy no it was fine just my doc gave me wrong tablets now sent my head all over the place xx
Thanks no never herd of rescue rem does it have side effects and did you check its ok with this med ? X
I've used rescue remedy b4 it's fine with sertraline when I used it u put a couple of drops on yr younger it worked to calm u down but u havnt got anxiety have u ?
It needs time still. Have you been trying to get out and hang out with people that care about you? I had to wait until the side effects simmered down but each weekend when I am not working seems to be filled with activities and I am living in the moment. That's how I knew mine was working.
Yes I have anxiety
Oh sorry I thought u had the depression didn't know u had both god I've just got anxiety and panic attacks and that's enough to drive me insane
Yes been pushing myself to do everything possible not even been off work just getting on with it my cbt man said I need to just carry on doing my normal things avoiding things will only make it worse it so hard I don't think they understand but that's what I've been doing best day in a long time today 😄👍 hope it leveling out x
I hope so for yr sake there levelling out yeah I've still been going to work etc but hard sometimes xx
Do u find yr better on yr own or in company I use to love my own company but now hate being on my own
I used to hate being alone. Now since it's been kicking in I am enjoying my own company. Didn't think I ever would.
That's brill hun I'm 21 days today on increased sertraline just wish would hurry up my doc says it should have by now as already had it in my system xx
I like my own company but at the start I liked to be around my family in my job in alone all day
Just remember everyone's different some take longer than others x
Hi, no it has no side effects and completely fine to take with sert. It's a herbal remedy and comes in drops or spray which u squirt on your tounge. U can get it in any supermarket or chemist and even children and pets can take it for nerves. I give it to my dogs on firework night to calm them down. Read the reviews online. It really did help me, and I always carry it my bag ( just incase) haha x
