Hi everyone
Been doing not to bad so for but woke up this morning and feel like I'm back to square 1 been on 50mg for 5 weeks the 100mg for 2 weeks deppresion back anxiety back with force any advice would be helpful PLEASE
Please go see your doctor on Monday! Get a same day sick appointment! Anxiety is nothing to fool around with and the sooner you get your doctors help the better for you!' Until appointment on Monday go outside for a long walk clear your mind stay away from drama! Easier said than done I know but please try!! Good Luck!
Don i was on that drug for over a year, up to 150 mg. This is the effect it had on me, made the anxiety, depression worse. It could also be the side effect of the increase to 100 mg. if you were feeling fine on the 50mg. I tried a couple different kinds, A.D.'s and I didn't do well. I eventually told my Dr. I wanted to taper down,did so over a period of three months. It's been 20 months off sertraline and I'm now just beginning to feel like myself.
Everyone responds differently to these drugs, I have a friend who has been on them for 20 years and does well. It could be the increase to 100 though, or maybe you need a different med. Drs. I found at least mine, perscribe these, not knowing the repercussions they have on some people. One doesn't work they try another, this is all they can do. We have to tell them how we feel, as most have never been on these meds., and even if they were they may even react differently. Do you have a psychiatrist or just a G.P.?
I wish you well but completely understand what you are going through ~ Take care.
