    Hi Hun, I'm the same had a few good days here and there but I'm still not 100%. Still having strange thoughts and anxiety, will be 7 wks for me on Wednesday I'm giving it till 8 wks and if I still feel rubbish I'm going to go up to 100mg instead of 75mg I'm on now. I'm feeling better then I did in the start so I just try to focus on that. Good luck flower xx

      When you say strange thoughts what do u mean ? I'm on my 16th week and I'm having a lot of negative thoughts like people are looking at me funny and people are been funny with me and I look down and depressed

      My thoughts are I don't feel like my self, am self aware, can't remember how I use to be, don't feel part of any thing, feel like I want to get away from my self, why am I here, when will I every feel normal again.

      Hope u feel better soon x

      I had those thoughts too in the first few weeks on sertraline. I just felt like I didn't know what to do with myself.. Like I had no purpose. I don't get them like I did anymore but everyone once in awhile I may have a short period where they creep back in. I thought it was only me.. It's a relief to know I'm not the only one. I hope yours go away soon!

      I'm not on them anymore my symptoms weren't improving so changed back to citalapram which gave me no side effects last time so hopefully these horrid symptoms will go away soon
