    Hi Lee, hang in there. You are not going to be like this forever. This med is working on you. Why do I know? It's because you're having good days. That shows that your body is responding to this med. However, you haven't leveled yet so recovery is like a roller coaster if you were to chart your days, one day up, one day down. Just keep taking your meds and hang in there. Nothing stays the same forever, this too shall pass.

    Take care, get rest, try not to get stressed out, try to take a walk and get some sunlight.

      l am struggling on week 11 but encouraged to keep going because l have some better times. Mornings are always bad. It is really hard when you feel so bad. Some days l struggle to even walk round the garden. Lots of people say it gets better, just takes a long time.

    😬 I saw so many posts from many ppl complaining they were feeling worse because of a brand change. Can you not try to stick one brand to see if it makes any difference?

      Yes I know you are right, but have a look on this post and their comments on this link please.

      https://patient.info/forums/discuss/sertraline-brand-change-655071

      Brand change knocked back me as well, brand ranbaxy is sh*te. And mixing more brands all at once is affecting your mood. You see the many comments on the link above, many ppl complaining about it and nit just here many more on facebook as well. I dont want to be clever, just want you feeling better because I know you are suffering for long.
