2 weeks on sertraline - depressed
Posted , 3 users are following.
Aww folks feeling down and depressed these days! I'm on holiday from work and just back from 2 days in lovely hotel with hubby and family but still feel down. It's a horrible feeling, I am hating feeling like this😞 I feel so needy, feel worried about speaking to or texting friends to say how I feel so thought I would get it all out on here!! Not interested in eating, going out tonight to concert but not keen to go, just don't know what to do with myself. Back to work Monday and already worrying!! Iv nothing much to be depressed about eh? Tablets need to kick in soon, thanks for letting me say all this, think it helps!!

i have been on sertraline for about 1 month and already I feel much better, suicide thoughts have gone( fingers crossed) the first couple of weeks on AD were awful did not think I was going to cope, I am still anxious and I to have not been in touch with friends didn't want to trouble them, panic is still there palpatations still there I'm just hoping they will level out and I will be back to my normal self.
you will get there it's a long daily slog and some days are not going to be good.Â
vent all you like, it's good to talk to people who understand. 😊

I'm glad you've been able to share honestly about how you are feeling - that's exactly what the forums are here for. The biggest frustration is sometimes when there isn't an obvious problem that needs fixing in our lives. That's when our brain chemicals are just out of balance and so it's not a sign of weakness to seek medical help in setting the balance right again. After that admission, it can be a bit of a waiting game, and that's very frustrating too. Don't lose touch with your friends - I did this for many months and it made me feel worse. You don't need to let them know the whole truth, and if they are real friends they won't think you are needy. If one of your friends was really depressed, would you want to know about it so you could try to help them? Of course you would :-)
Let them know a little bit of what you're going through. They may not understand it completely but these friendships give us value and allow us to give to others also when we may feel lacking in worth. Life is about give and take and depression doesn't have to halt this.
Good luck on your journey! Keep us posted.

Fingers crossed it keeps up and the Sertraline is kicking in.
So anyone struggling through anxiety, depression or side effects of this drug, keep at it, it will kick in.
