hey,

i probably read all topics about Sertraline on this website, but that somehow worries me in a way hehe.

i started sunday with 50mg (day 6 tonight basically), had some meltdowns through the week (not sure if it's because of the meds tho)

only side effect I'm having is no appetite AT ALL. need to forcefeed myself at this point.

but feeling wise; I got them because of my anxiety and mild depression. But since a couple of days I feel like me again. No dip, nothing worse.. I read everywhere that you would feel bad at one point... so now I'm worried that it's still yet to come.

i'm not complaining; just worried haha!

    hi...I was put on 50mg 2 mths ago. No side effects, felt ok, no anxiety feelings. At 3 wks, made a major decision (too long to go into) a few days later major wave of anxiety and panic attacks (not had before). Had to remove the decision, but still couldn't get out of the attacks, begged dr for help, gave in and was given Diazepam, took for 2 days. I was still feeling anxious, but no panic attacks, so at 6 wks meds increased to 100mg, been taking 100mg for 2 wks. Not sure if I feel 100% but have to make sure I'm busy to keep neg thoughts out of my head.

    My tip would be to carry on, but not make any major decisions too soon. Something else I have to live with and it was something I was or thought I was ready to do...
