Depression coming back

Hi, I have been on sertraline since Dec for anxiety and depression. It took a couple of months to start to feel a little better, but it was after being holed from 50 to 100  that I really started and did get the old me back ( 90% but that was good enough for me). Over the last few days I can feel myself slipping backwards. I am hoping it’s just a blip and not that the sertraline has stoooed working! Iscthis normal? Feeling very anxious as I don’t think I can cope with ever being in the state I was 6 months ago.

    Hi Cindy,

    I have been on Sertraline 10months for depression and anxiety and it happened a couple of times that I had ups and downs.

    Speak with your doctor you might need to increase your dose 

    I started on 50mg but I currently take 175.

    All the best !
