Feeling like there is nothing between ears
Very numb zombie like and confused
Does anyone have positive feedback that it wears off and is a start up effect
Been on sertraline before but can't remember side affects starting up
Quite dizzy feeling too
Would love some hopeful news that it will wear off
So desperate to get better again

Hello. I haven been on 25mg and now up too 50mgs. At first I was feeling g sick (but not actually sick) light headed and really high anxiety. For me the key has been keep busy try not to remind yourself you have taken sertaline and most important.. rest when you can.
It's taken about 2 weeks for me to feel better. Hang in there believe it will help.

It gets better! I am on day 14 and day 9 since upping to 50 mg and I feel so much better. Yesterday was the first day I have felt somewhat normal. My appetite was back and I had more energy. Granted I still have the morning anxiety and a little nauseous but I think I'm over the hump. It will get better for you and all of us. Stick with it!

Yes! And I had some horribly dark thoughts. Honestly the past two weeks have been hell but it's getting better. The past two days have been a little easier.

pit certainly does get easer,
this will be 15months for me on Sertraline!!!!!!
i at first felt nausea, very tired.
this however gradually passed, takes roughly 6-8 weeks for the side effects to start easing.....I was originally on 50mg then after 8weeks went to 100mg,
and now dropped back down to 50mg,
it does get easer Hun, give it time.

Hey Julie.
I'm on day 7 on 50mg and have felt so odd every day of taking them.
Numb, dizzy, no appetite, no happiness, spaced, tired.
After finding this forum in pleased to see I'm not alone. I think we've got to ride the wave.
I'm finding it hard as my creative mind has stopped working and I've no interest in my business.
I started taking as homelife with a very challenging child was becoming unbearable and I was crying and on edge all the time.
I really hope things settle for both of us.
I'm desp for them to work.
Xxx
