Has anybody else felt like S**T for their first 8 weeks on zoloft/sertraline and then gone on to have SUCCESS during the following weeks?

Hello,
No, Ive discussed that with my doc and She asked me to wait for 2 more weeks at least.
So hard to decide whats the best 😦
How are you?
Kind Regards,

Hi Lynn,

Definitely - couldn't sleep, no appetite and very anxious but also withdrawing from Parexetine.
It took 12 weeks and only felt much better at 200 mg.

Hi mate im still feeling s**t at approximately 10 full weeks tomorrow hoping for some improvement.But when i think about it im definately in a btter place than i was at the start of the year im also on mirtazapine 15mg which i dont think is helping at all only for an hour after taking it i wake with a hangover type feeling and no motivation have to literally drag myself out of bed and get on with it so i think the mirtazapine is causing more harm than good.But the sertraline i think has reduced my anxiety to some degree so keep going pal im sure youll be ok soon.This sh*te is awful ive bin like this for many many years but hid it well.Best of luck keep me posted

she is off now, she was on Zoloft in late 2018 into early 2019. She started on 25 for just a week, then 1 to 50, then to 100 and finally at the end she was at 150. She said she noticed the biggest change when she was upped to 150, but that could also have been because it was about 11 weeks by then. This drug is so slow acting, but if you can hang in there it seems to work at around the 12 week mark.

Hi Lee,
Thanks for your comment! I am really sorry you are still struggling, you must be a warrior you can get out of bed and do your thing I am just simply not able to do so. I feel that hangover tho feeling with zero motivation and depression, just simply cant get out of bed until late evening or night then I force myself for a short walk thats all I can do all day 😦 Normally nights are good for me lately.
I am in a couple of Sertraline Support Groups in Facebook, Ive seen many ppl in the groups who got better after 10- 12 weeks hopefully the next couple of days will bring some relief for both of us 😃
