3 weeks in and feeling horrendous
Posted , 2 users are following.
So after a rough 3 weeks on Sertraline I saw the doctor yesterday and I have now increased the dose to 75mg from 50mg as from today and I have had a shocking day. The 3 weeks has been quite hard, although i felt like it was getting slightly better and i was starting to get more days where i was feeling 'ok', however..
My anxiety today is at its worst, literally feel like i have been on the verge of a panic attack all day (feel shakey, heart beating iregular since i woke up and i cant seem to focus on anything mentally or look at anything without straining) Went to speak to someone earlier about something I thought they discussed with me last night however they were completly confused, and they had no idea what i was talking about - it was horrible to feel that way and i felt like i was going mad (my memory is usually very good) + that has never happened before, im only 23. Im sure tomorrow will be a better day and its because i have upped the dose... but has anyone else felt like that 3 weeks in or when they upped the dose?
+ please can I hear some recommendations of what time to take the medicine and hear what works for some of you guys. Im currently taking them anywhere between 11am and 3pm, maybe early in the morning would be better or before bed? Thanks guys
And does this stuff possibly cause balding? getting all paranoid about that as well now haha

The best people to talk about what time of day to take it to suit you is a pharmacist, they know how long it last in your system and when it peaks etc. Hope that helps, ps I've been on 50 mg for approx 18 mths, seems to be ok at that strength not sure why GP' s increase dosages so soon when your body and mind I trying to adjust 😳
Oh and it hasn't changed my hair in any way. Hope that is of some help, good luck

Yeah I am shaking alot as well, and quivering LoL. To be honest the day I posted that was horrendous but the last couple of days have been better. Must have been the increase of 25 mg's which caused it.
How do you feel when you wake up and what time are you taking it Scott?

P.s ive not had one single panic attack while ive been taking propanalol and i lve been taking that for 3 months. Massive help with physical symptoms but need the sertraline to work on the mind while i get used to dealing with just the sertraline. Will pop back in a few weeks to see how its going.Â
Take care
