Hello, I've been put on Sertaline last Friday 50ml for first week and now 100ml, feel a bit distant and spaced out but hoping it's just balancing everything out.

Anyone had similar experience?

    Totally normal with these meds. Just hang in there as first few weeks can be a bit up and down.

    Week 13 for me and still getting there. Much better though than before sertaline

    Good luck

      6 months i been on sertraline at 25mgs the first coplue of weeks the side effects was aweful but got better i was myself again then maybe 3 weeks ago i started to feel my anxiety creep back on me so i decided to up my dose per my doctor to 50mg and i must say i felt the side effects again dizzy for the first couple days, tired and increase anxiety hot feeling in back of my neck etc. Its been 12 days since my increase and i have good days and bad days. My question is this normal to feel like this?? Somtimes i think the increase to 50 making me worse or like i have serotonin syndrom lol or maybe its just my anxiety kicking my butt. Let me know if anyone felt this please
