I have been on 50mg sertraline g or 5 weeks and 3 days for anxiety which started after the flu. I thought by now I would start to feel better but I don't. Today I have been in bed all day. Heart palpitations and fast pulse and generally feeling really anxious about everything. I am worrying all the time and after weeks I still have no appetite. I just want to feel normal again. I am due back in work on Monday after 4 weeks off and just dreading it feeling like this. Sorry for the long rant but would love to hear from anyone feeling the same. Lisa

Hi Lisa,
Ive been trying to deal with my anxiety on my own for 4 years, back in Nov I had to take my 9 year old son to the dentist and had a really bad panic attack I knew then i needed to get help. I've been on 50 mg Zoloft end of Dec for a week and then upped to 100mg in Jan and off from work for 3 month. I was a long scary road this forum helped me alot and made me feel like I was not alone. It does take time I really didn't feel like myself until middle of March. I wasn't even able to drive and take my kids to school my husband had to do everything. I'm very thankful I stuck it out the other thing that really helped is going to a psychologist they help you talk about anxiety and breathing techniques all these really helped me with my panic disorder. If your not getting therapy now it would be helpful to look into it. There is a light at the end we are all in this together! Good luck and stay strong xo?

Thank you for your reply. I had a good few days last weekend but went down hill again during the week. My stomach is in a constant knot. I have no appetite and for last 2 days have just lay on the settee with no energy and heart palpitations. I am due back in work tomorrow after 4 weeks off and think this is making me anxious. I realise 5 weeks on the medication isn't long do I am just going to have yo be patient. I also wish my appetite would return as this could be contributing to lack of energy. Will hang in there.
