6weeks sertraline
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi im new to all this. I had a metal breakdown just before xmas and totally baffled of the cause had a few panic attacks doc subscribed me beta blockers and the diazepam to get me over xmas. Day after xmas holidays doc started me on 50mg sertraline. Had rough 1st 2weeks then balanced out for a week and a half and felt myself . Week 4 and 5 have been up and down slight anxiety and the the odd intrusive thought. 6 weeks yesterday and it was a good day felt great but today i feel so low and tearful.. i am due to be married in September and fear that i may slip into severe depression and ruin wedding plans. I had a period of scary thoughts of not loving my partner and my kids and feeling no emotion towards them. I no my mind is trying to play tricks on me as on my normal days i feel like wow that was so silly. I just want to no do you think i need to up to 75mg or wait another week or so. I am attending cbt for 5 weeks it has helped a bit. This just feels like and ever lasting roller coaster

I am sorry you’re going through this rough patch. I know how hard it is as I am going through it myself. I was on 50 mg for 8 weeks and then decided I needed to up my dose to 75 mg. I was not happy where I was at 50. I had low days and was not motivated and my anxiety was still bad. I’ve been on 75 mg for 3 days with very minimal side effects. I also am feeling a lot better. I am not 100% yet but definitely better than where I was at on 50 for 8 weeks. I also wanted to go up but was afraid and kept saying “next week I will” I finally did and I’m glad I did. I think with the Zoloft being in your system for 6 weeks you should be okay to increase. Let us know how it goes and stay strong. We will get there!

Hi Jenna I’ve been on 100mgs now for the past 71/2 wks with little progress. It’s really scary as I feel as tho I’ve lost myself and feel detached from my luv 1s. Still can’t sleep without sleeping tablets. As my mind just does overtime and that makes me panick even more. Any advice or reassurance please 🌹

thanx Jenna. I woz on paroxatine for 17yrs which the doctor adviced me to have a change. So he put me on 50mgs for just over a week and then 100mgs since the last 71/2 wks. I just don’t know what to do? I don’t know wether to up my dose or just go back to my old 1s? Any advice or reassurance please 🌹
