Fully recovered but left with a bit of manageable anxiety
Posted , 4 users are following.
I take 150mg sertraline for ocd anxiety
I can honestly say that I am 100% recovered but I am left with a tiny bit
of a weird manageable anxiety...I don't want to up to 200mg
as I feel it would be way too much...I was wondering if a tiny dose of an
anti anxiety med along with the 150mg sertraline would do the trick
Sertraline was an absolute miracle for my depression and panic attacks
I just want to get rid of this tiny bit of anxiety.
Or then again maybe I should up to 200mg
What do you think?
Your comments would be very much appreciated
Thank you

Hi there glad to hear you have recovered, if it's manageable then that's ok isn't it? You say you are 100% recovered so why up your dose. How long did it take for you to feel better? I've been on it for 17 days at 100mg started a week on 50mg...still my anxiety is unbearable. Take care x

I am glad to hear that you're recovered, and if it's unmanageable on days where you need to go out or just simply annoying a little bit of his Xanax and Ativan won't hurt. I don't know about having to 200, I'm supposed to be helping to 100 and I'm having a hard time bringing myself to do it. How long did it take you before you felt great I'm six and a half weeks and I've noticed a lot of great changes but my panic attacks are still here when I'm out in public or when I'm driving which was my main reason for taking that medicine.

I started taking sertraline 50mg at the end of Nov. 2017
for severe depression panic attacks and severe anxiety
brought on because of my ocd
by mid January this year my depression was comp!etely cured
but not the anxiety and the panic attacks
then in April I upped to 100mg and as if by a miracle my panic attacks
disappeared overnight but not the anxiety...well maybe just a tiny bit
then in august this year i upped to 150mg
and as if by magic as before the anxiety vanished
but since then i get about a bad week once a month
i was thinking maybe 200mg would be the magic bullet

Maybe cut you tablet and increase to 162.5mg??
Increase by 12.5mg instead of a 25mg or 50mg jump?? As you say... its only a tiny bit of anxiety that’s bothering you, maybe you dont need as big of an increase?? 🌹
