It settles down however it can come back when over stress is caused it does get better
Hi Don,
Hopefully soon they will start to make you feel something better!
I'm kinda in same boat as you with this.
Hopefully you'll start to notice better days!
I had a better day yesterday , but seem to be giving me bad stomach pains
I have to agree. I started in march and after starting on a 100mg I was getting somewhere (after 3weeks on it) but then I got all stressed with organising family holidays and I feel dizzy and not with it all over again super saddened
It aint fun being knocked down and if i am being honest i have spent more time on the floor then upright however i get bavk up and try again i hope u can do the same i have had to give up a lot of worrying about stuff i cant fix in life and just go with the flow and try to do my best for my boy and me you may find this wierd but i am beginning to believe its because i wont except their reality and have my own to concentrate on a bit heavy but true
Iv 2 sons and a young baby this started in pregnancy. I think I'm gonna have to increase again. I feel heavy headed, dizzy , disconnected from everything its so so sad because I love my family so so much but I'm very flat again after a good 2weeks really. I'm plodding along
it will get better - it does take a while - I started in Nov 2014 and I would say about 8 weeks but gradually better and better each week and lots of support on here helped me too
That's good to know!!
My dr has me on 200mg which to me being e most you can take is very high? He says that when he reviews me if not helping he can then reduce??? I am getting back pains and abdo pains with it at moment which concerns me
What mg did u start on and ehen did u up it
What mg did u start on and when did u up it
Was in citalopram 39mg. Dr decided sertraline may be better so every four days I reduced citalopram by 10 and added 40mg sertraline then after that up to 200mg. Been on 200 since 29th may
Started Nov 2014 on 50 and upped to 75 8 weeks later
Thanks for reply do u feel better now
Do u feel better now
I do yes - I still have health anxiety but its more under control and I am able to live my life
What do u mean by health anxitey sorry to be nosey but need to know as much as I can cheers
Health anxiety is a constant feR or worry that something is medically wrong with yourself , or may have been missed by your own Dr
