I've been taking sertraline 50mg for nearly 4 weeks for depression and my symptoms r awful. Had a massive anxiety attack and been really really angry . I went to the doctor yesterday and asked about getting increased to 100 but she said that because I'm still having side effects that increasing wud only make them worse and wants me to stay on 50 for another 4 weeks. It wasn't my regular doctor she really wasn't nice at all.
Whilst it's true that the side effects take time to settle particularly when first starting based on my experience I knew after about 4 weeks that 50mg was not enough. Increased to 100mg after 6 weeks. Have ended up on 150mg in the end and that seems to be allowing me to function.
Hi there I'm suffering with depression and anxiety at the I'm on sterline but since I been on em I feel like I'm getting worse xx
How long have you been on them. They do make you feel worse initially. If after a month or so your still feeling worse I would discuss with your doctor you may need a higher dose.
Since Tuesday
