Alright I've been on sertraline for 5 weeks now on 50mg a day after citalopram made me so ill I didn't eat for a week and lost a stone and half in weight. . But im just wandering when I'm supposed to feel a difference cause other than the day time when i wasn't to bad anyway the nights are the same and sometimes worse for me.. and all ive done since being on these is burn all the bridges to the people I care about

      I've started to feel a change but im not sure if its a good one cause as much as my head feels clearer everything that has ever annoyed me seems to be rushing to the surface...im not sure if its good to speak my mind ... other than that the nights are still really bad

      How are things now? I'm just under 5 weeks and have felt more depressed. At the 3rd week that was not the case, calm then.
