I started sertraline june 16th at 12.5 mgs then worked my way up to 100 mgs where I am now and have been for about 3 weeks.  I just am not feeling much of anything.  I am still having agoraphobia issues mainly.   I still stay in my little comfort zone when I do leave the house.  I was better off I think on the celexa but it didn't seem to help as much as it use to so I wanted to try something new.  I felt better at 50 mgs and literally was driving out of my comfort zone then the wheels fell off and here I am.  I refuse to go up any higher without any hope at 100 mgs to feel anything.  I don't want to increase anymore and then have to struggle to get off this med.  My doc suggested going back on celexa at a bit higher dose.  He says to take half sertraline and 10 mgs of celexa to have some overlap to help wean off.  I'm scared to do anything!  help!

    Hi Alf Alf!

    I know what it is not having results with those meds.

    Ive tried them all in those past years and mostly in the last year and nothing seems to help. I think my body istelling me that it has enough!

    Im not even able to tolerate a low dose anymore!

    The meds changes seems to have play too much on my nervous system.

    So maybe time to give it a rest !

    How long have you been on meds in your life?

    Have you had good result from celexa? Why did you changed?

    I agree that you gave sertraline /zoloft quite a chance but without good result ! Maybe stopping will be better but do it slowly.

    Also, do you work your agoraphobia with a therapist? Cause that might be even better than meds.

    Give news and take care...

    Hi

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. I have worked up to 100mg over the last year and I just don't feel any real change. I don't go out, I isolate, ant eat, I'm so low & suicidal too & I feel guilty that I'm not doing the things I normally do. I just about managed to walk to the shop today sad ..

    I tried upping my dose to 125mg but my body couldn't cope, I was a mess forgetting words, crying, then laughing. It was awful so that isn't an option for me either.

    Sorry I haven't given much help but I do feel slightly better that I'm not alone.

      Hi Tar!

      Maybe you should tell your doctor about the way you feel.

      It might not be a good med for you or maybe too high dose ???

      Take care
