I’ve been on 100 mgs sertralinr since sept 8th and not feeling much of anything.  During the days I get some minutes of anxiety but still having problems getting outside.  Also still having the tireds in the afternoon.  I see my doctor the 2nd of October and not sure if I want to go higher or try something else.

    I’m in my 6/7 week on 100mg and just starting to feel the benefit and good changes happening. Was still having all sorts of trouble when at same stage as you but my wonderful doctor said everything that was happening was just how it should be. Her positivity keeps me going. Try and hang in there. It sounds like you and I are similar and it’s so worth the struggle. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel in the distance 😀

      I was only on 50mg for a week and my doctor said I may as well go straight to the 100mg as I was having terrible side effects on the 50 anyway. So I started sertraline on 6th August. I’m feeling pretty good right now. Only lingering side effect is dizziness. I go to my doctor this week for review so will see what she says. Stay strong. I’m an old 63 year old  👵🏻who’s never been on any strong medication and this has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do but truly it’s worth it. Hang in there 😀

      I started my journey June 9th at 12.5 MGS and have inched my way up since then 12.5 MGS at a time to where I am today.  I know I have some improvement but it's here and there and not daily.  I get tired daily and already had my morning nap them got a migraine...I just hate to think I'm wasting my time.  I've been on 100 MGS since about Sept 9th.  At one point I was feeling really good and hopeful and was getting out daily then it all went away and here I am.
