hi - im 11 weeks on sert, though only one week on 50 coming down from 75, so its still stabilsing. The past few days ive felt much better in the morning - no nausea, a little appetite, which is certainly an improvement, but then it all comes crashing in the afternoon - my appetite goes, blurry vision and anxiety to the point where i start having panic attacks, crying etc a complete turn around, its like my its hasnt build up enough yet to last the full day - anyone else experienced this? x

    Do you take your tablet in the morning or evening? I was on 25mg for 4 weeks, 37.5mg for 3 weeks and just started 50mg. I take mine in the evening and i'm worst in the morning with similar effects to you. Although past couple of weeks have been better. Still the odd panic days but i suffer from health anxiety so any bodily change is a pressure point!

      hi - ive just started taking it in the evening, but i don't think that should make much difference - i used to be terrible in the morning and better as the day goes on bur now there is a marked difference after lunchtime, hoping its a short term thing..
