hi all 😃 been on sert 16 weeks or so now. I had been feeling really really good. normal at times a few weeks ago. then last week started to feel bad again and each day getting worst 😦 and now feel like day one all over again 😦. is this normal? to have so many blips 😦 this has been a good 10 day blip aswell. I'm in 50mg of sert. went upto 75 but was to strong for me. so went back to 50. been on 50 now for 11 weeks.. just need a little positivity

    hi Ryan,

    sorry to hear you are feeling bad again.

    I have been taking Sert for years now.

    It helps so much, but it cant help everything. Have you had anything going on, any extra stresses, more then normal, or having you been drinking or anything? Sorry to be blunt, but a lot of things can effect them!!

      hi ryan just focus on how far you have come and hang on to the fact that you have good days/weeks. I have had blips that have lasted for days and come through them. perhaps a increase is in order for you, try going to 75mgs by increasing small and slow, 12.5 at a time and stay there for at least 4 weeks, now the meds are well and truly in your system it may not be so bad for you. you can beat this and as always speak to dr first.

    I totally agree with sue74917.

    Good for you that you dont drink, that's great.

    we naturally will still have up and down times, thats the good thing about sert is that it doesn't block or stop all feelings, it's there to help our balance!! it is one of the best pills out there!!

    find something that relaxes you and go to that everytime you feel bad. I love the sea, always go when I need to relax.

    hope you feel better soon.

    Hey Ryan, I'm still getting moments too, I've settled on 150mg sert as tried 200 and zombied me out. I would agree that maybe try going up 12.5 at a time or after all this time try something to add to sert or change. After all these weeks we should be well. Keep fighting on 😊

    i have taken zoloft for years now but once in a while i experience blips.I take 100 mg 50 mg in the morning and another 50.mg at night.I feel so good but here and there i experience blips.But everytime i feel low i come here and see that i am not alone and there are so many people in the world like me.Blips ocur if you had a rough week or stress or even without a reason.But always you have to remember:THIS SHALL PASS TOO!YOU WILL BE FINE.
