Does anxiety get worse the first couple of weeks on sertraline/

Posted , 5 users are following.

I have been on sertraline for 7 days now. I have 75mgs of Trazadone to help me sleep but the anxiety is unbelievable sometimes. Does this go away? I am on the medication for a bad anxiety and PTSD? Could use some encouragement that it will get better.

    Hi,

    Yes I was on Flouxetine for 9 years and came off because I felt good, however I then had bad anxiety again after about 5 weeks, hence me going back on meds. I thought I would try Setraline as I had a really rough time with starting Flo, it was a mare.  Worse that Setraline

      I took a long time for as well but I got there in the end. I’m going to just stay off them for a while now. Hope you feel better soon x
