The start of the second week was great I felt so happy. A little numb but happy. That wore of and now I'm going into week three and the anxiety and bad thoughts are coming back. Why isn't it working? I don't want to be numb but I don't want to be sad eaither. I'm only on 25 mg. I keep having negative thoughts about my boyfriend who isn't negative. I know it's not the relationship but me. I have so much to work on how do I do it all?

    Hi Lauren, I'm also week 3 (20 days), I'm really struggling too, negative thoughts, dizziness, nausea, feel like I'm going out of my mind! Sertraline is not a quick fix, it takes 6-8 weeks for good therapeutic effect so we've both got some way to go. I'm yet to have a good day so trying to take it hour by hour, my Dr said it's like baby steps and very slowly I'll see an improvement. Fingers crossed,these forums are really lovely.x x

      Wow thank you for that! I have good and bad. Sometimes you the hour. One minute I'm like super positive wanting to go to Disneyland. The next I'm locked in a closet at work crying. Yeah it's a struggle haha. Hopefully we both get what we're looking for!
