Ok day 33 on setraline 50mg still feeling anxious sickly tired no energy and everything is a slog. Is this normal should I stick it out will a higher dose help . I have been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and waiting to see an endo specialist on Dec 13th so is this causing my symptoms or should the setraline be working by now ?

Any advice or similar situations would help please as fed up bug time

      Hi John, up and down. Spaced out but I’ve had a terrible cold which has knocked all my senses out for a week now. I’m on week 6 of 150mg. Still anxious but much better than before x

      How are you doing?

    I'm half way thru week 7 and still having ups and downs . Still have low mood and don't seem to enjoy doing anything and can't understand why everyone is having a good time socialising and I just can't face it still. Had 4 days off work so caught up with some sleep but a bit concerned after nearly 8 weeks with no mood improvement x

      What dose you on? 

      I know what it’s like, I feel low and don’t feel like me at the moment. It’s scary and to be honest it’s also p*****g me off. 

      Want to salvage what I can of Christmas then see my doctor in the new year. It’s utterly miserable.

      Hi Kerry

      Thanks for your reply . I am 50mg from day one but I'm nervous to increase as really don't fancy the side effect s**t that will enevitably happen . I'm so fed up with it now . I haven't had a drink in 3 months but am tempted to try and perk me up a bit x

      50 I don’t think is enough to help enough.  The side effects are awful, but it sounds like you need more.  You should check with your Dr.

      I switched to Prozac in week 6 because of the anxiety.  I’ve been on it a week and now I feel like I’m getting the Prozac side effects.  It is definitely not easy.
