It’s really rubbish I know. I started on 50mg Sert, and was about 4 weeks before the side effects faded away.
I felt v v nauseous, light headed and jittery ...
Do try to stick it out - you will def feel loads better given more time x
Yes to your question. This med will make you feel worse before you feel better. As one person told me, that it is a sign of it working. I know it feels like there is no way that you will feel better but you will. 50 is a low dose but alot of people have great relief with that amount. Give it 6 to 8 weeks to feel results. We are all here for you.
First 10 days are the absoloute worst, in the next week you should start having patches through the day of feeling really normal and well, they last about half an hour or more, it's good if that happens it means your get to g well, AD do make you worse before better,, in about week 5 or 6 you will people.around you will notice before you do that you're getting better, the anxiety won't be so intense and the dog will lift.
Everyone is different with time scales but that's the rough idea . Just plz hang in there.
One thing that used to help me was planni g the new me once I was well and all what I will do. Honestly you will get better. Xxx
Hi how long have you had anxiety and do you suffer with depression with it once i know this maybe i can help , i have this and i was on sertraline , 50mg for 5 weeks then the doctor up it 100mg , i could not get my head off pillow, so i came off it, but not all people are the same, what does not work for one , can be brilliant for another, i prefer natural remedies
thank you for your reply i feel really lousy no motivation what so ever its the nausea i'm eating just to take mind off it i just want my old life back
I can say and I'm sure more people feel the same way. It is a long road to take. I always think that it will get better. The more you stress over it the harder it is, i did the same think. Always thought i would not get to the way i was . I am now better but believe me i still have bad days. It is just part of this disease. I truly hope that you start feeling better.
