mood swings 50mg 2months in
Posted , 3 users are following.
On 50mg for 2 months now, I've obviously always had mood swings but I feel like they've gotten worse, suicidal thoughts won't go away and its harder to keep my composure and have started breaking down in front of people. Are these side effects? Or is the medication not working yet? I'm a bit stuck on what to do

Some people seem to reach a turning point after a couple of months, although it sometimes takes an increase in dosage to 100mg. Have you discussed this at all with your health professional? I'm worried to hear that your mood is worse than when you first started on your meds. Are you receiving any counselling or any other medical support at the moment? Sertraline is helping me with my suicidal depression (so I can relate a bit to your thought processes, although everyone's experience is different). I was on the wrong meds for my first 2 months of suicidal depression so I did feel a lot worse. My psychiatrist switched me to Sert at the beginning of Jan and I'm a lot more clear-headed now than I have been for several months. I feel as if I have more control over my thoughts, rather than them controlling me. It is a daily battle but I'm motivated to keep going as, like most of us, I want my life back ;-)
