      hi 😃 I have been on sert since December 😃 before that I was on citalopram for 21 weeks and if anything made me worst. but since switching I have had good and bad days. I felt like I was getting better than bang I had a blip from hell 😦 and felt like I was right back at square one. but yes their is a but 😃 as of now I'm feeling much better still having bad days. but at the moment the good out weigh the bad 😃 and I think soon I will be back to my normal self. it's been a very very slow process. but I'm starting to see the benefits now 😃. I'm on them for anxity and panic. I do at the moment in time have sleep disturbance but its gradually getting better 😃. just stick with it and you will be fine 😃 I promise 😃 stay strong

      im not yet on proper medication, i have just been given 2mg dizapam

      for 2 wks. got togo back to gp then. He told me he wanted to put me on long term medication, im going through a bad time at the momment with my wife, but hoping this is only a tempory fix.

      he did mention sertraline & citraplam. what do you think out the 2. i know it affects people differently.

      ps: i suppose to be going to tenerife in 2wks organized over6mnths ago. im a bit unsure about taking meds as i know i will not be able to have alcohol while im on holiday. not a big drinker but have been looking forward 2 it so much. also thinking if i start meds now it will clash when im on holiday.

      just a thought.

      well I can not help you with your holiday buddy sorry. I'm a t total so I dont drink and not sure what the effects of alcohol are on sertraline.. but I might be able to help with the medication. I was on citalopram for 21 week and it did absolutely nothing for me. it made me worse. but sertraline I still have bad abd good days. but the good out weigh the bad now. and its slowly but surely working 😃. but it's down to how your body reacts. you might not get anything from sertraline and citalopram might work for you. but for me sertraline works. I hope I could help you a little 😃. stay strong buddy

    Hi, day 10 for me on 50mg and I see difference in mood. First 5 days were brutal. Extreme anxiety, tremors, nausea, dizziness, sweats and racing thoughts. But its getting better mood wise. Still anxious and have a stomach problems but Im feeling optimistic. Today I even cleaned the whole house👌🙂
