Day 14 100mg sertraline, awful nights sleep
Posted , 9 users are following.
So it's day 14 sertraline 100mg, terrible last night, couldn't get to sleep till gone 3am, felt de real, scared etc. Had tight chest on and off all day yesterday. Then light-headedness. It's all getting very hard to live with. Can't function at all, just moving from couch to bed and return. Appetite also very poor. Hoping and praying to see an improvement soon. How's everyone getting on with this med?

Yep I get that, struggle to get to sleep then waking up every two hours. I'm signed off sick from work, can't contemplate going in, in this state. Anybody else signed off?

My anxiety still bad, physical symptoms seem to have eased a little but mood still not right. Awake at 5am again!

Hi. 2weeks is still a bit early to see if they are going to work this time, plus you have increased very quickly add to this the fact you were on a higher dose and weaned off then started again your poor brain and body is probably wondering what the hell! Bit like teasing a child with a sweet you can have it no you can't, yes you can, child is going to kick off. I would give it at least another 2 weeks for things to settle and then see where you are regards to dose, if it worked before for you then I am sure it will again just a case of time and figuring out the right amount
