12 weeks on 50mg feel better but advice please

A similar story to mine. I started on Sert 50mg, and after 12wks did feel much brighter, but still had that lingering morning anxiety on waking.

I upped to 75mg 12wks ago, and have noticed a further mprovement in my anxiety, but still a bit jittery in the morning on waking, and mildly anxious (this tends to fade by early afternoon)

My GP is reviewing me next week, not sure if i should up to 100mg ??

Hope this helps x

hi there, i ended up on 150 mg before it clicked and i realised id found my dose. after a year i reduced successfully to 100. i put on loads of weight tho so changed to prozac but its only 20mg and not enough, the anxietys been playing up again. may end up back on sert, it worked well for me. i moved up by 25mg each time over a period of around 6 mths, a few weeks on each dose before upping. persevere with it and with your doctors agreement, id up gradually til you feel good all of the time. good luck

im on 50 mg this is my second week , i used to take 100mg for the last 3 yrs but weaned off and stopped for 2 month and im back now due to stress led to anexiety and panic attack with fears of not sleeping that ends up not sleeping and thoughts all day of my fears that panics me all day .

i dont have motivation to do anything i used to enjoy . i will ask my doc to up my dose and hope it works like before .

from my researches that mood and motivation is the last and the med takes 8 weeks to start kicking in .

i remember last time it took me around 5 months to feel ok .

i hope all the best to all of us .
