Hi has anyone using there setraline with other medication like calming pills. I have OCD severe at times anxiety and depression from it. Currently just on 50mg on setraline. This wk been a very bad wk the worst in a long time. Docs gave me venlafaxine to go on next wk. I don’t want go down that route after reading the reviews. Back at docs on Monday different doc. To discuss a different route. Anyone got success stories with setraline. Thanks
Hi Brian, yes I had a lot of success for anxiety on 150mg sert, after a year reduced to 100mg. Only drawback was weight gain, over a stone on a tiny frame. Doc said changing to prozac can trigger the weight loss but no, hardly! And my anxiety and migraines are troubling me again. I may go back on sert, tho the initial side effects were horrendous, it really did help once i got to the right dose for me. Talk to your doc about upping your dose? Oh and i had betablockers to calm panic attacks, stopped them actually, and 2mg diazepam for the really bad days, very calming. talk therapy helped to an extent and cbt. Hope this helps :-)
Hi thanks Julie ye i will consider upping at 1 point i was on 100g but no effect really. Definitely need calming pills to get me through this anxiety state, my fight or flight response is constantly triggered it’s horrible
Hi Brian, I am on Venlafaxine 225 and it works really well on anxiety- it’s non existent now, however my depression is still not improving greatly so will start Sertraline 50 alongside on Monday.
Sort of put off with venlafaxine. Need to maybe up my dose on setraline and get maybe calming pills also maybe.
