Changing medication - any advice/personal experiences?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi all,
I've just hit the 12 week mark for sertraline and other than the odd couple weeks of feeling myself, I haven't really found it to be truely beneficial.
I'm considering asking for a change in medication and I'm just wondering if any of you guys have changed before. Were there any bad side effects etc and did it turn out better for you in the long run? Oh and also did you taper off your origional antidepressant or just switch straight over?
About a week ago I've been getting some crazy ear ringing as well which may be a side effect of sertraline - all the more reason to stop.
Any replies will be much appreciated, thanks!

Right now I'm sleeping about 13/14 hours a day which is a complete contrast, but when the meds are working you'll be energised and up well before 12!

So you said that youre about 95% yourself and it took about 15 weeks to get to that stage but is it like consistent?
I've got a couple weeks in a row where I feel myself but it never seemed to last before thats why I got bumped up to 100mg a couple weeks ago.
