yes i know what you mean this is a side effect from the medicine and you will get better , all this will go away when the medicine kick in .
it takes from 4 to 6 weeks and some people takes up to 12 weeks to see progress.
im on 150 mg week 3 now and i still have anxiety through the day . it sucks i have heart pounding all day . i was on sertraline 100 for 2 yrs .
i stopped for 2 months bec i felt back to my old self , then it all hit me again from no where now im back with higher dose . i feel a slightly better but still no where near my old self .
dont worry give it 4 weeks if you didnt see any improvment you can ask the doc if he will up the dose .

Hi there. Yes it is a side effect I’m afraid. With the anxiety and the meds I lost about a stone in the first few months. Keep your doctor updated. Only up the dose if he says so. I was on 100. Levelled our after about a month. It does get better. Stick in there
