May I ask everyone who has been through this or going through this, just automatically pick up one day and get on like nothing because it’s been baffling my mind as to how it happened for me last time one minute I was like on death bed then next I was ok, and I’m eager for that day to come so badly, can anyone relate or know that feeling

    Hi Emma, i used to wonder the same thing! I started sertraline in December for anxiety and depression, I was in such a mess I thought I would never  get better. I thunk it happened to me gradually without me noticing at first but one day I was driving and I found myself singing to the radio! To me that was massive and from that day ( slowly but surely ) I began to feel better week by week. My family and friends said how lovely it was to see me smile again and I became the old me again. I would say I am 90% back to me again . Family, friends, doctors and sertraline have helped me get me back and I hope this can happen for you Emma! It isn’t quick and it isn’t easy but you will get there. Take care and I hope this helps you.

      Hi Cindy 

      Thanks for your reply, not sure if you know my story or seen it in here, but I’ve been on Zoloft for over 5 years without a problem took a nasal spray for the flu and it’s sent me in a 360 so I’ve never stopped but feel like I’m back to square one and thought that being in my system the symptoms wouldn’t be this bad but yes there awful and I just wanted to see if anyone knew how it suddenly just changes and gets back on track I’ve gone over it 100 times in my head but can not remember

      Hi Janes, I am on 100mg. It seemed to be a few weeks into the 100 that I gradually started to feel better. Hope you start to feel well very soon 👍🏻

      I was up and down...mainly down until i went to 150mg...my word...what a difference that extra 50mg made for me. Side effects from the increase and then..boom..I feel 90% my old self again. I can drive..shop...all be it quickly lol..pick up from School..go to the doc surgery and today I did a car boot sale. I'm still waking up really sweaty and have low level tinnitus but anxiety all but gone..palpitations stopped and no panic attacks. Some people need a higher dose than others. When you find your dose you will know.

      Good luck

    Yes emma mine came on slowly and it is still doing its own thing. The day that i noticed a difference was when I was in either my 6 or 7th week. I was actually laughing at something my husband said to me, he replied (wow haven't heard that for a long time) and you know what, i realized he was right. So it will come to you in a very small way but it will build from that. Hang in there. Good things will come.😎
