Week 10 on Sertraline, advice please

Hi I've been on Sertraline for ten weeks due to anxiety and low mood, at first I struggled with the medication and was very in and off upto week 6! From week 6 to 10 I've felt almost perfect, like myself again! It was working, I was living my life like normal and it was great.

Three days ago I feel like because of some stressful things happening in my life I have gone back one hundred steps ! I'm stressed, anxious, panicky, avoiding people and situations. Is this going to stay like this now? Or do you think I will start to feel better again? It's so hard to feel like this after feeling so good for 4 weeks!!

Thank you

I'm same luv its awful going backwards. I don't know the answer though as yet xxx

Can't believe this ant more replys anyone ?

Hi I'm starting to feel better again now! Took myself away from stressful situations, took a couple of days to relax, and spend time with lovely people, but I'm feeling morel positive again! I hope you'll start to feel the same x

Hi, one of the first things I did after a few weeks on Sertraline was to try and identify causes of my anxiety and low mood. My wife died age 49 14mths ago, cause #1. #2 I was in some company that wasn't working, so I stopped that, after a day I felt the relief, next i realised my part time employer was a major contributor to my anxiety, not been back since 7 weeks. Things are improving for me, sleep still up and down. Hope this helps.
