First time on sertraline!
Posted , 7 users are following.
I've been experiencing depression and anxiety for some time now and have been given sertraline 100mg, this is the first antidepressant I have taken and am feeling quite dubious!
It would be great to hear people's experiences whilst taking sertraline. I am aware everybody is different and experiences may differ from person to person but it would be good to get an idea of what may be in store!
Alongside this it would be great to know how people cope with depression and/or anxiety on a daily basis; this is the first time I have experienced the two and feel a little lost sometimes when it comes to coping mechanisms!
Any replies would be appreciated!

They obviously don't work for me. And they may do for you. Keep a dairy that helps to see the good and bad
Goodluck

I'm on week 4 of 50mg, for anxiety/depression.
I've been on this in before and would recommend you either start 25mg or 50 mg then increase.
It can in some cases aggravate your symptoms a bit, and you need to give it about 6 weeks to really gauge how it will work for you.
It does work for me, 4 th week now and I'm sleeping better, depression not too bad and anxiety.
For me it never seems to go completely but sertraline seems to help me deal with it.
As for coping strategies, try and have a brisk walk for half hour every day (more if you can) cut out all caffeine.
Get plenty of rest and sleep, take it day by day and don't be hard on yourself on a bad day, just accept it.
Eat as healthy as possible.
Good luck with it. Hope you start feeling better soon.
