So done 5 weeks altogether but 50mg for 1 week and just starting my 4th week on 100mg today
I wake up with a little anxiety which comes and goes through the day and little shakes which also come and go through the day although i feel better then i did at the begining and can see a tiny light at the end of the tunnel.
When did everyone feel better on 100mg? Im on it for gad and keeping a daily mood diary i see my doctor again the end of the month who said if i still dont think its taking the edge off with higher it to 150mg
How are your intrusive thoughts? Mine seem to be getting worse.
Mine seem to be easing off abit i keep myself busy and aint had them today so far
Hi Kayleigh, good to hear you are starting to feel improvements. Remember, the initial stage of recovery is very uneven, meaning anxiety still comes in waves but should get better once the med is settled in your system. I am on 100mg and felt better at 8 week mark. Personally I think you are good at this dose. Give it another month. If after 8 weeks you feel you need more, then you can increase then. Take care, no HALTS! Xx.
Hi what are meant by intrusive thoughts ? My husband is on week 5 this week of Sertraline 50mg we saw the doctor last Friday and she said she didn't want to increase his dose . He's doing well but still not right anxiety bad on a morning bit not as bad as it was if you know what I mean and then still there at certain points during the day and he said tonight he still gets thoughts of harming himself wouldn't follow them thru he says. It still not nice to think of them? Also gome back to
Work yesterday after 9
Weeks off just a few hours yesterday abc today but attract he's panicking he won't get back full time . I think he's been too hard on himself . But wonder where these harmful thoughts come from ??
Thank you yes imgoing to do this.
I did a recent post on intrusive thoughts further down the page, yes he is being hard on himself and he needs not to be it takes time and although ive had a good day today i do still get the bad day/monents, just got to keep going, my anxiety perks on a morning but does fade away x
