Sertiline XL 50mg

Posted , 2 users are following.

I have been on sertiline HCL 50mg for 12 days for generalized anixty and depression.

My BP bottom number runs a little high and I still have some anixty. Will these symptoms get better?

This is my second med. I'm trying because of the wellbutrin 300mg made my anixty worse. I was on paxil 20mg for 9yrs. but, I had too switch meds because of my body became immune too it. I hope I don't have too switch meds again. Two of my kids are taking the sertiline 50mg and they do fine with it and my sister done fine with the same med to.

      Hello, Did you have your good and bad days taking this med? I'm on day 16 and last night I had high anixty and of course it ran into today. I heard it takes 4-6 weeks to fully be in your system. I hope these bad days are just the med. still working into my system.

      Ok, did you have any side effects from a higher dose and when you took the med?

      I'm not sure if I want too up the mg. or wait.

      I had a bad experience when my Dr. up my mg. with the last med. I was on. But it wasn't the same med. family has the paxil & sertiline. I see a specialist on menatal health that knows more about anixty and depression meds. on Friday. Thank-You for helping me through this.
