After 1 year on 50mg setraline I am feeling terrible

Posted , 3 users are following.

I started 50mg setraline 1 year ago after a horrible 5-6weeks I gradually began to feel myself. After 6 months and feeling good out of the blue a bad day. I was back in bed terrified to go out having several panic attacks per day. I considered increasing my dose to 75mg after speaking with my gp but I was so scared I would be back to square 1 I chose not to up. After this completely random 6 days I woke up feeling so much better again. Feeling better has continued and I have been back to myself and working my own job as well as helping out in other roles during covid-19. Then all of a sudden I woke up 2 days ago and again feel horrible, scared and worried about everything.

I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I am coping better this time as I keep telling myself its the same as last time and wont last long. Although I cant stop thinking about the reasoning behind it as there has been nothing to set this panic off. I have had a few bad days where I am anxious throughout the year but its bearable and not impacting my life. This time and last time feel like I am back at day 1 and cant function.

Any advice would be great! This website has been a massive help throughout my anxiety.
