7 weeks on 200

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi, I have been on Sert exactly for 5 months today and tomorrow will begin week 8 on 200mg. I am a bit better overall but still get low days and mornings are not still the best. Can I still believe that SERT can help me more or this is it now. Is there anyone here for whom it took ages to fully work for depression?

    I have been on 200 mg since around August. I have intrusive thoughts and Pure O. My mood is certainly better but I still have intrusive thoughts and occasional anxiety. I think we have to work on ourselves and our lifestyle in conjunction with the tablets.

      I think once my mood significantly improves I will be able to do more to help myself. It's difficult to make changes is life when you don't enjoy anything and don't feel yourself. Do you feel positive emotions and enjoyment now?

      I had some a bit better days but it is not consistent. I am seeing a psychiatrist in 2 weeks so I hope I still improve by then otherwise he will have to adjust my meds.
