I have been taking sertraline 25mg for 13 days, I was starting to feel a but better but now started to feel a little nervous again, I am unsure if this is still a side effect if starting or if I need to up the dose.

A very long time, years, I had a breakdown ages ago. I have had a lot of personal problems! live alone now! Hypnotherapy here is £45.00 per session.
I’ve only been for a talk with someone but the CD I’ve been given is helpful. 2017 was constant problems with my eyes and also invasive dental treatment. Two implants, ouch with pain and ouch at the cost.
Have my first session on Tuesday!

Hello Kerry I too am on day 13 of 25mg sertralinee. I also had a bad virus over xmas which brought on a panic attack when I felt I couldn't breathe, unfortunately the sheer panic and anxiety just didn't go away, I honestly thought I was going mad! It has to be the worst feeling ever! Gp prescribed 25mg sertraline and after about 6 days I could feel a difference in that I didn't feel out of control with my feelings, but am still feeling extremely anxious especially in the mornings. I'm seeing my gp on Tuesday and I'm not sure whether she will up my dose ( scared ) all I do know is that it is still early days and I know that I am determined to get better, don't think you are on your own xx

its almost the same story, hope the gp appointment goes well, my gp said it's common for anxiety to start after a virus.

I've been on 25 for 8 weeks and week 2 through to 4 where horrible for me
I'm not in a hurry to up dose I still get shocking days full of anxiety but not as bad.
I don't want to up dose because I know my stomach hasn't been the same since starting sertraline so I'm guessing upping would only make it worse. I'm going to try staying on such low dose along with meditation and councelling and fingers crossed ill be ok.
Good luck

25 has taken edge off but no matter how much meds we take there's nothing that's going to magically get rid of our anxiety..
You need to give it time I've heard even up to 3-6 months..
The side affects I got was the the medicine getting into the system but I did want to throw in the towel!
