I have been on 50mg for 2 and a bit weeks now after increasing from 25mgs for which I was on for 17 weeks. The last week has been horrible for me and tonight has just topped it off. I keep drifting off to sleep only to wake a little later with a proper racing heart and sweating. It keeps happening over and over again. I can’t sleep but my body really wants to. Constant state of panic. Need some help.

    I’ve just taken one an hour and a half after my sertraline. I really hope this is okay.

      You can take it any time in the day it doesn’t matter when you took the Sertraline x

    I don’t think 2mg has done much. I just woke up in a panic attack after drifting off.  I hate this so much. 😔

    So the diazepam did finally knock me out and I slept for about 4 hours. I’ll take that smile The panic attack wasn’t much fun though.
