Does sertaline work??
Posted , 6 users are following.
Is there anyone who had been on this drug and feel it works for them / doesn't ?
I've been on it now for nearly a month and I feel really bad still, I thought I would feel a difference by now ?
I've got suicdle thoughts, no life worth, lathargic, over eating ,needing something sugary to eat, and worrying, anxiety, panic, very depressed, it's just getting out of hand now
Anybody feels better / worse ?

It took me about six weeks before I felt anything. I'm at 150mg right now, and the med is boosting my mood just a bit. But even a little bit feels like a huge relief! I'll see my doc in two weeks, and he will most likely want to increase my dosage up to 200mg.
Hang in there! It gets better. Be sure to tell your doc what's going on. Your doc might want to increase the dosage, or switch meds.

6 weeks you've been on them ... I'm into 100mg now 4 weeks ...
I'm going to speak with my doc Tuesday & ask for some advice ... I'm just so worried that they aren't working for my & I'm worried I'm getting worse
I haven't heard good things about this drug .. It seems to not be working well in people or taking along time, to show little improvement ..

I am very sorry to hear that you are having a bad time and that sertraline hasn't kicked in. I am on 100mg of sertraline and have been on the drug for 6 months. I have had my bad times but for about a month now I feel on top of the world. The side effects of this drug can be horrendous with insomnia being at the top of the list.
I didn't feel much difference after 6 weeks so my gp upped my dose from 50mg to 100mg and I started to feel a difference. Maybe you should go to your gp and ask to get your dosage increased.
Your life is worth living, you are going through a bad phase and you will get through this.
I have always been a big worrier and I see things far worse than they actually are. When you feel worried and anxious about something you should try to talk to someone you trust and let them put things in to perspective for you.
Try and do things and be in the company of those that make you feel good about yourself.
Take care
Sukhi

I will stick with it & talk to my gp..
I've isoclated myself away from the world, I live in my bedroom now
I have so much anxiety & panic when I go into shops or see people I know & avoid these situations at all cost .. It's social anxiety .. This has left me at 30 year old, with no life ... I just live in my bedroom at my fathers house, no friends & can only tolerate family when I'm having an " ok " day ... It's awful this disorder or whatever I have ...
I only go out when i have to ... I really hope these kick in soon .. I really need to start living life again xx
THANKYOU for listening ... XX
