Hi all I have had a rele tough time with anxiety lately and I didn't realise how low it had made me until I got assessed. I have had 5 weeks off work and am due back next week but I just don't feel like I'm getting any better I have been taking setraline and I still feel so detached and have rele bad dizzy spells every day it's worse when I go out and I just feel like I'm going to pass out I don't know how to cope with it anymore

    Hi,

    I've just started on sertraline on day five. How long have you been on it? What mg are you on? maybe you need to try another one. Hang in there... I feel the same this is the 2nd drug I'm trying.

      Arrange an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. 50mg is quite low from what I've read on here. You may not to increase your dose.
