Hi,
I've been 150mg since september 18, but in addition to this i started taking magnesium citrate and vitamin D. My sleep has improved so much (the odd bad night now, rather than the odd good night. )
In september i had a virus which triggered my anxiety and depression to a level where I couldn't function. I cried all the time and struggled to get out of bed. I'm now feeling great and alot more relaxed. Might be worth a try with the magnesium. everything i have read since says its great for anxiety and depression. Hope the black cloud lifts for you very soon !

25 mg. daily for 4 days made me quit. No one I have read about here is happy with this drug.
Thought I was just a wimp. Sorry you are having problems also. You are not alone.

Thank you for putting your story on here. I went up to 150mg one week ago. And got all the same symtoms as you,
although the depression is less and intrusive thoughts seem to be gone.
so which is worse. Iv had some thumping head aches and taken 2 paracetamol which helps.
Hope in time it will all pan out.
Today I did wonder whether to drop back to 100mg
Think I will persever a bit longer
Good Luck everyone on your journey to good mental health

Stick with it, and really do think that magnesium is a wonder. I have been on anti depressants for over 6 years and had many highs and lows but the biggest difference in my mood has been since i started the magnesium. It helps me sleep better which in turn lifts your mood. good luck xx

Thank you Jaynsie
will get some magnisium . Shall I just buy it at the Super Market or do I need to go to a health shop for a certain strength.
will keep on with the 150 Sertraline.
I need to control what I think about.

Hey buddy 😃 try and hang in their. I think I'm starting to get a little better. I was on citalopram for 20 weeks. And that did the same to me. And I swapped to sert. You may need a swap. It's hard to start with but it gets better. For the sleep tho I was suffering from insomnia and my doc gave me zopiclon and they work wonders. I really hope thing improve for tho 😃 hang in their.

I got mine from amazon last time i ordered. Check the recommended daily allowance online. Men can take a higher dose. Too much can upset your tummy so I just take one a day and that works for me. I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it. Have a good day x

Thank you Jaynsie
I will give Vitamins a try. when you say upset tummy what do you mean because I already suffer with very loose bowles and take Lopermide for it.
I find I panic if I think I must do this this and that in my head, which just happened so Iv sat down and had a few drops of CBD OIL 4%
HAS ANYONE ON HERE TRIED CBD OIL OR HAVE ANY INFO ON USING IT WITH SERTRALINE.
THANKS

Hey all, well last evening bout 7 I started to feel well, no symptoms, got hungry, so went off to get KFC, slightly nervous in the que but got it, ate all and enjoyed, then sat watched TV and felt almost normal again. Went bed, couldnt slept till late but felt good. I thought maybe the sertraline is kicking in! Woke up this morning, shaking inside again, nervous, went to shops but still feel all nerves, but de real, breathing not right. Resting up again now wondering what it's all about! Anybody else had enlightening moments?
