Hi all,

I’m new to this so I’m not sure I’m doing it correctly haha!

Sooo I’m on sertraline for panic disorder. Before sertraline I couldn’t even get out of bed without panicking, I couldn’t talk properly, I was panicking 24/7.

I’ve been on sertraline since July. First 50mg then 75mg and now I’ve been on 100mg for a week. I’ve had improvements - definitely! I’ve even managed to go out shopping ect. This weekend just gone is the best I’ve felt all this year! However the past 2 days have been rubbish, high anxiety and brain fog.

Just after some advice really 😃

Thank you!

    I have been on 50mg since Sept 25,. Week 9 & the start of 10 had a pattern of one day good next day bad. Since Saturday i have had more anxiety and feeling sad. Did it take a while for the med to level out. i am hoping its a blip too
