Week 6 of taking sertraline n bingo it's working but just a bit of encouragement stick with it. I have been through the worse times with this medicine. Dizziness,sickness,migraine,forgetfulness,staying in bed all day, not sleeping, I could go on absolutely horrendous. I have felt improvements from about week 3/4 then week 5 I seemed like I was going backover(maybe because I had some bad news) but hey ho my gp increased meds from 50mg to 100mg and I am actually doing housework lol. First time since Christmas and I am planning returning back to work. Stick with it guys as I feel on top form at the minute life is good x

    Great news Marie! Really happy for you in the progress you are making. It took me 8 weeks to start to stabilise, and life events stopped me in my tracks last week, but I'm staying positive and determined not to give up on my recovery. I hope all continues to go well for you. Stay strong & believe in yourself :-)
