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
Bonjour Nicola
Je suis comme vous - j'étais à 25 mg pendant 5 semaines, puis à 50 mg ces 7 dernières semaines et 2 jours - après la semaine 8, je me suis sentie à nouveau moi-même, riant et profitant de la vie, et j'ai été comme ça jusqu'il y a 3 jours. Je ne suis nulle part près d'être aussi mal qu'avant, mais je sens un peu d'anxiété qui revient et quelques pensées négatives. Je m'inquiète maintenant de reculer, mais je ne veux pas augmenter ma dose pour l'instant - si jamais. Je pense attendre jusqu'à la semaine prochaine et si je me sens toujours comme ça, je pourrais retourner chez le médecin. Comme vous, je ne sais plus ce qui est normal - dès que j'ai un peu de mauvaise journée, je crains de retourner à la case départ ! Je repense souvent à comment j'étais et je vais tellement mieux, mais je me sentais parfaite jusqu'il y a 3 jours et je suis un peu déçue.
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
