Sertraline and the gym/other symptoms

Hello!

I have made an account just to talk to others about sertraline. I have really bad anxiety around my health and for years I have tried to ignore it and not take any medication, but it recently got so bad (I was off work for awhile & convinced I had an awful disease) I had to give in and take something to help me.

My doctor prescribed me sertraline and I have been taking 50mg for about 5/6 weeks now, she wants me to increase to 100mg but I am terrified to do that, as felt pretty rubbish on 50mg, I do think my anxiety is a little better, my head doesn't feel as manic if that makes sense.

I used to go to the gym nearly everyday and do crossfit aswell but I feel like I don't have any energy and I feel so weak, I do still try to exercise but I find it much harder now and the next day I am aching really badly! I convinced myself I had MS at one point.

Don't get me started on the dizziness and feeling of fainting haha.

Does anyone else feel like that?

Thanks x
