I have been  pescribed 50mg sertraline a month ago to help with depression anxiety and jealousy which led to anger problems leaving me to blow up at trivial situations.

After two weeks i felt great and by week 3 was more comftable relaxed and happy .

Week 4 is like a total relaspse although ive kept my anger under control i have an overwhelming anxeity and panic.

Will this improve? Has anyone had the same symptons and did sticking with the treatment work?

    Hey mark. I was exactly the same on 50mg.

    It's now been 8 weeks and I'm doing 100% better. I found that the first 6 weeks were very up and down but after that it starts to level off again. Stick with it

      Thank you tracey for the postiveness.I am beginning to wander if I will ever be "normal" again so I can get out and do things with my kids instead of worrying if I will have a anxiety attack .

      I was on Paxil cr 25mg starting dose cloned all the way to 75 mg over 12 years and that was the largest dose and it stopped working so the dr changed me to 100 mg of Zoloft and I have been on it 5 1/2 weeks and still have horrible anxiety

      I have been that too in past and sertraline by far the best ..don't get me wrong a friend of mine is on 200 mg of sertraline a day which I think too much as my friend acts like it's addictive and can't live without it ..I honestly think a lot of it is physcological but 100 mg is fine and don't make me addictive
