Hi iv been suffering with depression and anxiety for 5 years  my main symptom s that really botherin me is feeling off and spaced out  along with churning nervous stomach . So started on sertraline  on 12 of october 25mg for a week den 50mg for 3 weeks and up to 75mg the last 2 weeks or so . Since i went on 75mg  i feel a lot more spaced out  and fuzzy headed  im just wondering can this be normal side effects  and should i continue medication ? Should i give it more time ?
