hey guys.

I am currently on 100mg and have been in this dose for 6 weeks. overall i have been on sertraline over a year, working my way through the doses.

Today i feel really bad. anxiety and weird feelings. we are currently moving and it has been very stressful. Could this be the reason? i havent felt bad for a long time.Is it true that starting new doses means starting from scratch again?

      I don't know your history but Im thinking the time on each level is way too long. Certainly long enough to build up tolerance and get to where your taking higher doses and relapse. Are your trying to do this yourself? All the best it aint easy. x

    During a time of stress from any type of life change or event like that it is completely normal to feel that way, even for people who don't have to take medication. It's a totally normal response that you're having, don't worry! Just keep pushing on! 😃
