hi new to the site, as probably most of you i frantically read reviews on the net and most people say they feel better within 4 weeks, i started taking sertraline 4 weeks ago today, first 2 weeks on 50mg and the second 2 weeks on 100mg for post natal depression and anxiety disorder, the past couple of days i felt the depression worsen and today the panic has been unbearable like adrenaline rushing through my body i havent wanted to get out of bed much today which isnt like me, i just wondered if anyone had any positive stories of possibly feeling worse at week 4 then getting better? thank you

    I switched from another AD exactly 24 days ago today and I've had a few ups and downs but the last 4 days I have had extreme anxiety/several panic attacks I thought I'd be getting some benefit by now but its still early days, rang the Dr today he gave me Diazepam and told me to stick it out. My question is this normal the panic attacks scared the life out of me tbh.
