I feel like it's starting to go backwards I'm not as bad as I was when first put on them but can feel myself getting really down and emotional has anyone had similar experience and got through it without upping there dosage?
Hi there. been on sertaline nearly 4 months and started at 25mg then up to 50mgs, then 75 and noW back to 50. Been a rocky road but I can safely say that I'm now feeling good. Key for me was to accept my anxiety and work with the meds. Ie sleep well, eat well and take care of me.
Keep in regular contact with your go as we all differ.
Good luck .x
I upped my dosage of Lexapro from 10 to 20 with no relief! My psychiartist switched me to 20 mil f Paxil! I am on my 10th day and I think I am starting to feel somewhat better! Praying we both start feeling like ourselves again!
Thanks I don't want to up the dosage if I don't have to so could just be normal person bad days 😂😂 and I don't know the difference anymore!! Thanks for the advice x
Hi Nicola
Ich bin genau wie du - ich war 5 Wochen lang auf 25 mg, dann 7 Wochen und 2 Tage auf 50 mg - nach der 8. Woche fühlte ich mich wieder wie mein normales Ich, lachte und genoss das Leben wieder und war bis vor 3 Tagen so. Ich bin nicht annähernd so schlimm dran wie vorher, aber ich spüre, wie etwas Angst in mir aufsteigt und hin und wieder negative Gedanken. Ich mache mir jetzt Sorgen, dass ich zurückfallen könnte, möchte meine Dosis aber noch nicht erhöhen - wenn überhaupt. Ich denke daran, es bis nächste Woche zu lassen und wenn ich mich dann noch so fühle, gehe ich vielleicht wieder zum Arzt. Wie du weiß ich nicht mehr, was normal ist - sobald ich mal einen schlechten Tag habe, habe ich Angst, wieder ganz von vorne anfangen zu müssen! Ich denke immer daran, wie ich damals war, aber ich bin so viel besser dran. Bis vor 3 Tagen fühlte ich mich perfekt und bin jetzt ein bisschen enttäuscht.
Yes you sound very like myself. I'm gonna give it the rest of this month see how I am could be just hormones or sumtin 😂. And personal problems don't help either. I defo be going back if I get any worse it's strange to feel happy after a lifetime of being in a constant bad mood
Hi there my daughter went from 50mg to 100mg, I really worried that she really seems spaced out sometimes not much interest in anything! We are facing homelessness and our GP told us last week she was leaving and we still haven't heard back from the mental health team! Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions u or any one else might have? So worried about her !
Hi Jamie I'm aorry to hear you both aren't having a great time at the moment but maybe she needs to get out more even for short walks I don't know what age she is or if she works ect. But just telling friends and my fiance how bad I felt helped me so much and maybe she doesn't need such a high dose she should still be able to live a normal life xx
