Hi Trina. Sorry to hear you've been feeling so bad. I started taking sertraline 5 weeks ago and my anxiety got worse than ever.
I'm not sure I can help, but you are not alone. Our illness can create some mean thoughts - making us feel worse about ourselves. It will pass and we will get better.
Did you have these problems with previous increase of dose? Do see your doctor again if the feelings don't improve.

Trina, I am sorry you are feeling like this. I just want to assure you that I went through this numbness before I started feeling again, but please remind yourself that just the mere fact that you don't feel like you love anybody is an indication that your feelings are trying to break thru this numbness. I went thru a period for 1-2 weeks when I felt fortified by the med and I couldn't shed tears even though I was crying inside. So hang in there, this will pass. I also experienced derealization which to me was more disorienting than the numbness. Give it a few more weeks and this numbness will disappear. Take care. You are not alone in feeling this.

Hello, I was on Zoloft 50mg for about a month.
Went to doc's (GP) and was having slight anxiety still, so the doc upped to 100mg.
Was fine, just kinda tired, for about a week and a half. Then, out of no where, headache, ringing in the ears, upset stomach, and all around feel like blah.
The drug has been in my system now for over a month at 50mg, but since the increase to 100mg
Getting some bad side effects again.
So I'm on week 2 and a couple days of 100mg and not going well. Want to keep taking the 100mg, but should an uppage in dose shock my brain that much??
Will the side effects level out??
Anyone have this going on right now? Don't get me wrong, the drug does help, I've had some really, really great days. If your reading this, seriously, I had some good days. Maybe this is all part of the uppage in dose? Maybe another 2-3 more weeks and then if the same, cut back to 75mg??
Not sure?

Hi just to say that what your going through seems to be the norm we have more ups and downs than a roller coaster. I have just upped to 200mg and feel like a zombie but if the outcome is peace from D&A then it will be worth it.Hope things get better for you soon and this site is brilliant for advice and knowing your not alone with this devastating illness.

Thanks Trina. Hope your getting along ok too, seen in other posts you said leg pain.
I to get the leg pain a little, and neck and shoulders. It's weird, but a side effect from what I've seen people write on this site.
Take care, and have a good day.

I too have just gone up to 200mg. 6 days ago now, no improvement yet but they had been working well so I'm clinging onto feeling good again soon. I hope it starts to work for you soon too xx

Head feels like it's going to explode.
Stomach ache, little bit of anxiety. Ringing in the ears. This had better let up soon.

These symptoms are horrible. I went threw the 50mg symptoms hoping I'd never has those again. Only reason my dose got upped was,I told my GP after 29 days, I had felt a little anxiety. Makes me wonder if I shouldn't have upped it to 100mg.
Question is, how do you know if it's to much mg. ??
How long do I wait to see?
