Coming up to 6 weeks on Sertraline
Posted , 52 users are following.
Hello, its my firs ttime posting on here after reading many messages on the forum already. I started Sertraline around 5 !/2 weeks ago. I started with the horrible side effects of insomnia, heightened anxiety etc...both have subsided but am not yet feeling any real benefit. My sleep and appetite have improved somewhat both of which were quite impacted before I started the medication (symptoms of depression).
I guess I am just looing for reassurance that it is going to work. I felt like I was losing the plot a while back - highly anxious negative thoughts and a really low depressed mood. I started at 50mg, moved up to 75 and now at 87.5mg.
Thank you for feedback

i was on 50mg for 4 weeks and then upped to 75mg, then 100mg and now i'm on 150mg for the past 12 weeks and i think i've found the right dosage on 150mg, i'm much better than i was on 50mg :-)

Hi Christel
I know its been 4 years since you placed your post here but was just wondering how long your morning fight or flight rushes lasted days/months? i get them every morning which gives me an internal tremble for much of the day and i hate them. Not even sure you'll see this post now!
thanks

hi did it take the 12 wks to feel it was right for you? I am week 9 of 150mg and think it's working but not to the full benefits.
