Ups and downs. Will I ever become stable?

Treatment and medication
1

So I've been on sertraline for almost 4 months, I started at 50mg and went up to 100mg around 3 weeks ago. Recently I've had bouts where I feel like myself again and I'm able to function like a normal person. When I feel decent I'm always worried about the crash to come and I've currently been in a week long depressive phase.

The ups and downs are a pain in the a, I feel myself and all the enthusiasm I build eventually comes crashing down. The down phases aren't as bad because I kinda know what to expect.

Will it ever become consistent to a point where I'm feeling myself again as normal? Like I said its been 3.5 months so far. Would love to hear some positive experiences right now! Thanks x

Since you upped your dose only three weeks ago it might still take time, when I upped my dose the third and fourth week are when I started to level out.

thanks for the reply, how do you feel since levelling out?

I feel pretty good not 100% a few blips here in there but better than I did and I see the benefits so I hope I continue to improve I am only on 50mg and not sure I want to increase anymore if I continue to feel ok since I would like to stay on the lowest effective dose.
