Sertraline!!! Any help is welcome

Posted , 1 user is following.

hi! im new to this so please be kind!

so around a year ago i suffered a flashback which caused immense distress and guilt feeling! i could not shake the thought and my doctor put me on sertraline .. started at 50mg then upped to 100mg within a week! it worked wonders for me last time however it was kind of a fog until i felt better!

i came off in april this year cold turkey (bad decision) thinking i was better!

anyway fast forward to 3 weeks ago and all bell broke loose i had the same flashback and the cycle started again! im seeing a therapist and i have been diagnosed with PTSD! huge guilt feeling from the flashbacks and my anxiety was through the roof ! hot flushes, feeling sick! i genuinely didnt think i could carry on! im back on 100mg of sertraline as of two weeks ago! now im experiencing horrible intrusive thoughts that i harmed love ones in the past and im this horrible person! has anyone else experienced this and if so how long did it take for it to go away?
