I don't think sertraline is working!

I've been on sertraline now for 3 weeks and 3 days and feel no different, I was on 50mg for the 1st week and 100mg after that. My anxiety is so severe and have panic on and off through the day. I had a good couple of hours the other morning that's it.

Hi Pamela,
Please stick with it, I barely had any good days those first 4weeks after I increased, my mood was so low and depressive, I was adamant these meds weren’t doing a thing, I was all over the place the week before it turned around, so fed up and low but once I got passed 4weeks and not a day sooner those better days became more & more...
5weeks - every day was a better day.
Keep going 🌹

Thanks rose I'm just beyond fed up of waiting, I'm not depressed I'm just really anxious all day, I'm surprised I haven't got depressed actually feeling this way for months!(I do suffer from depression now and then) Hoping sertraline will work soon, trying to speed my recovery by eating oily fish and veg and fruit and nuts, having cod liver oil and vitimin d and going for walks and jogs and drinking plenty of water and green tea (which I hate lol) Thanks Rose, I just can't remember what it's like to be me !

I was prescribed Sertraline originally for my anxiety and negative racing thoughts (never suffered with depression) but my side effects caused me to become low and depressed but they didn’t effect my anxiety which I was glad about - don’t get me wrong my anxiety was high and persistant in the background those first few weeks, but remained at a level I was used to... I think you just swing one way or another with these meds & side effects?? And after so many bad days in a row I can completely relate to how frustrating and disheartening it becomes, its a hard slog. Your doing everything right, its just a waiting game... but you are getting there 🌹
