So frustrating!!

Well after having 4 days of feeling ok at some points excellent. Today has come and bang feels like I’m back at square one again :(. Hopefully the feeling better tho. Is a sign I’m getting better. Trying to see positive side :slight_smile:

are you 4 days on sertraline ryan? if so don’t get discouraged it took me weeks to feel the effects of meds .I’ve been on sertraline for 2 yrs now low dose paired with pregabalin and i do still have bad days but mostly good, i’ve been able to go back to work and leave the house(which i hadn’t been able to for 2+ years without crippling panic attacks and fear, hang in and remain positive you will feel better its about finding the right meds dosage. Sending positive vibes✌

I felt almost normal Friday evening then back to anxiety yesterday n today. What dose are you on now Ryan?

Im on 75mg. I was feeling better tho.

No I been in about 7 weeks now. Was on 50mg but past 2 weeks up at 75mg.. But before sertraline was on citalopram for 21 weeks.. thank you :slight_smile:

ryan hang on in there you are doing well, ups and downs, as frustrating as they are means meds are working just need to settle. you have come a long way from being on citalopram all you need now is time and patience, so very hard I know when all you want to be is back to normal. I am coming into 5th week on 50, just over 13 weeks in total and was doing great, till I got this cough/cold virus but hey ho I know it will pass and we will both be right as rain come the spring

dazfoxy sometimes the weekends can do this to us, I think because, unlike week days we have no structure to our day, I dislike sundays greatly because of this, it gives me loads more time to think how I am feeling. It is great that you had a good day friday, very soon all your days will be good, once you have given the meds time to settle and worked out your correct dose

Try & stay positive tho i know that’s easier said than done… i have been on sertraline now for a few years & feeling like they have run their course … i came off them for a couple of months feeling ok to begin with then started to get anxious again so doc put me back on them … felt like they were taking effect for a bit then it seems to ware off ..

Thanks for all your comments :slight_smile: feeling slightly better this afternoon. Today is just a bad day. And tomorrow is a new day :slight_smile:

HI Ryan how are you ? Did the bad day pass ?

Hey :slight_smile: I’m ok thank you :). The bad day did pass but I’m still having a mini blip tho ;( but I’m going to doctors today to see about going back to work. How are you?

Much the same , I’m Ok but not perfect still having good and bad days . Good news if you can get back to work

Tbh I’m only going back to work cos I’m bored at home lol.. But I’m not going back for another 2 weeks. 2wweeks tomorrow I’m back

how has today been .. ive been a bit rubbish but as they say tomorrow is another day

I keep suffering from derelisation or however you spell it a lot at the min. And today been bad for it. That and intrusive thaughts. Are quite bad at that moment. Tbh I’m getting down cos I just want to feel normal again. When this started in July I had never had anything like it. And now it’s just doing my head in :(. But like you say new day tomorrow

Hey :slight_smile: how are you?

I’m doing ok , yesterday was a terrible morning but rest if the day was fine and i woke up almost normal . (whatever that is ) how are you ?

Google good sounds like your heading in the right direction :slight_smile: I forgot what normal feels like sometimes lol. I’m very up and down. :frowning: thinking of dropping back down to 50mg 75 night be a bit much for me I think..
