Hey guys. 

I’m into my fourth week of 50mg after being on 25 for 17 weeks. Last week I was waking up having night time panic attacks. They went away after a couple of nights and I was able to sleep through again, but tonight they have returned. Is this normal? I just want the sertraline to level out and it’s scaring me, these night time incidents.

    Hi Daniel,

    I have been taking 50 mg for around 16 wks. Around week 5 I felt a huge improvement and from there it only got better week after week. I’ve struggled with severe panic and anxiety for years and I’m thrilled to have my happy life back.  Hang in there. We all had set backs in the beginning. Best wishes for calm nights. - x kat

    I keep thinking it’s settled then it flares up again. It’s so unsettling.
