One week on 100mg Sertraline

Hm I usually waited every 2 weeks for side effects to pass. I’m on 200 MG now and it took me over 3 months to get to that dose. Hope you feel better

ive got and have had all the same side effects as you, but they have all calmed down a bit now, not shaky anymore, clearer head, they all seem to be getting better, but thats only in the past few days, first week or so i couldn't even wash my dishes. i was just a mess, including my apartment. lol. I think i actually felt better on the 100mg dose. I stepped up quite quickly, and side effect were bad, still have some and also developing some new and interesting ones, like never sleeping, which is great fun!! But by doing that i think i maybe crammed all the worst of the side effects into a couple of weeks, rather than dragging it out, if you know what i mean. But thats just me, everyone reacts different on them first weeks were fairly horrendous tho, it gets better really really! It seems everyone that starts seraline goes through much the same thing to start with, to varying degrees. Hang in there, you,ll be ok. G

Darla ..stick at a 100 until your body calms down. I think you are increasing far to fast. Your body needs time to adjust with each increase.

Good luck

I agree with Hoopz. Were all different, my side effects were tolerable, but you should maybe take it slower.

Hi welcome to my world you are not alone i only joined this post 8 days ago thinking my life was over and and a complete nightmare but it is not , i hope you read this and feel better in yourself, i am 54 and there is nothing in my life that i have not been through, 30 years of severe migraines no cure , ibs really bad, eating disorders, things that have happened to me through my childhood up to my teens i can not talk about, and then an illness that could of killed me but did not but left me not being able to do the job i love , hairdresser and beautician, so i decided to leave the east end and move to the country, nice peace and quiet not realising , no friends no job , lots of time on my hands to think of all the terrible things that have happened in my life, became depressed anxiety, panic attacks, and a whole lot more, went to the doctors he was great put me on 50mg of some drug can not remember the name but then he put me up to 100mg my god my migraines went through the roof , so the doctor changed them and put me on 50mg sertraline for 3 weeks then up it to 100mg, after 3 days i could not lift my head off the pillow my hands shook i had night sweats and i really felt terrible so i did not say anything to my doctor at first but cut it in half and went back down to 50mg felt better for a while but started to feel depressed again, so i thought what can i do, do i suffer pain or depression like you i just want to function and lead a happy life and most of all make friends since i moved  here so i really believe in both drugs and alternative medicine plus talking therapy, and that is wht i am doing and i feel so much better so if you want some help in this get back to me , hope you do 

Hi sorry to hear your having a rough time living in the city is hard, and i know you said you would love to live in the country but you stand more of a chance getting a job in the city than in the country , most people who live in the country work in the city, i think you are afraid because you said you are about to graduate that can be scary going out in the world looking for a job , but it also can be exciting, a new life ,meeting people, though you didnt say wat type of job you will be going for, sometimes we do need help through pills, or alternative medicine, or councilling, you have to choose what is best for you ,and how it makes you feel
