I’ve had a breakdown and am currently on 30mg Sert. Does anyone else have weird random thoughts, usually more on waking up. I don’t seem to be getting much better and I’m so scared. I live alone and Sert has made my tinnitus much worse. I’ve started hypnotherapy to try to help too. My life has imploded and I can’t believe this is happening. So difficult to carry on.

I’ve been on 50mg for many, many years. Autumn last year decided to reduce! I have dry eyes. All seemed ok until GP appt, went back on 50 and my long term tinnitus got a lot worse. Cue breakdown, another GP upped dose and T went berserk after just one 100mg. Didn’t want to live and seriously suicidal. So NOW depression, anxiety and severe tinnitus. I’m fluctuating between 30 and 50 now to try to find something to help in this disastrous situation. Eve

I honestly think fluctuating between mg is not a good idea. I think you need to stick at maybe 50mg for at least 4 weeks until you even out. Only then put the dose up to 75mg by breaking a 50 in half. It's a rocky road that no one understands fully unless they have been there themselves. Take your meds at the same time every day and drink lots of water. Try to eat. I'm sure you know all this because you have been on sertraline alot longer than me. If you feel really bad please ring the Samaritans or someone. Watch lots of comedy on the tv...stay off the news. Keep posting on here and reading other people's posts because you are not alone. Your mind is playing tricks on you..please take care.

Thank you. It’s my birthday today and I managed to go out for lunch with the family. I feel I’ve brought this all on myself and I am full of self loathing. I’m a Counselling therapist myself and you’d think I could use that knowledge!
How could I have been so stupid as the change in med has made the tinnitus the very worst thing, followed by the other symptoms. I’m becoming a complete drain to myself and others. Sorry for the vent, it does help not to feel so alone. I’ve started walking a little bit and hypnotherapy to try to feel better. It’s awful to feel so scared and not know what to do for the best. Thank you for your kindness 🌸
