a bit of a difficult one
Posted , 10 users are following.
I'm not here for attention, nor am I even expecting support. ranting and letting it all sometimes temporarily helps. I thought this would be the best place as you are all fellow sertraline users.
To cut a long story short, I feel like I would be so much better off dead. I don't know if it's the sertraline or the depression talking but I've felt it for a while now 😔

give the medication time to work, it's very early days for you. I was on 50mg for ages, then got worse in the new year. It got increased to 100mg 3 weeks ago, then to 150mg last week as I'm no better. I have depression & anxiety & have been told to give the medication a couple of weeks longer to kick in.Â
Youre on a low dose which may need increasingafter a week to get into your system.Â
Meanwhile, if things get really tough, call the NHS crisis line for support. They'll give you practical advice & suggestions.Â

Anti-depressants have the capability of causing suicidal thoughts, so it is important that you report this to your doctor so that one way or another you can receive help overcoming this life bump.
Keep us posted. I truly can relate to your feelings.

Don't worry about your mum too much it can be hard for people to be as fully supportive when they are emotionally involved too. Often now u can get a telephone appointment with your gp they maybe able to forward u on to a professional for some kind of therapy, often it helps having someone to talk to that cares but isn't a relative or already socially acquainted with.
