Hi i started taking sertraline 50mg nearly 6 weeks ago and have tolerated the side effwcts ok . Although the night sweats are awful. Regarding my low mood i dont feel any different, is this normal ? I had hoped to be feeling abit better by now. I saw my dr after 2 weeks who just said to carryon taking them. Any advice welcome

    Hi Rose, time is what it takes. Usually it takes anywhere from 6to8 weeks for most people, but others may take longer. I was one who took longer. I am on week 17 and the improvement is great. Dont get me wrong there are times when I'm really stressed out that i still get anxiety but I'm on 50 . I am upping it next month to 75. But I'll do what ever it takes to feel like myself again. Hang in there.😎
