Sertraline day 23 150mg feeling a lot better

Posted , 7 users are following.

Hi all, just wanted to share my good news. Been on the sert about 9 weeks now, and the last week or so am feeling a lot better. Still having minor moments and feelings but just try to use distraction when they occur. Sleeping better at night aswell. Cbt will be starting soon so hopefully that will cement my future wellness. So my message to everyone. Plug on with the meds etc, you will all get better. Get out and about as much as you can, small walks, popping to shops, all helps.

    glad to hear it buddy 😃 I'm still very down 😦 felt great over the weekend and bang another blip 😦 cant sleep and when I do fall asleep. I wake up with immense fear like I'm going to die or something. but little posts like yours give me assurances that things will get better 😃

    that's great to hear! are you taking it for anxiety and depression ? I'm on day 11 on 50mg and struggling with side effects. I hope I see a difference soon. my psychiatrist wants to work me up to 100mg every 4 wks. I see her in 2 wks by the way I'm only able to sleep about 3 to 4 hrs every night. my mind starts racing.

      I take it for anxiety mainly. Maybe get something to help you sleep, I had zoplicone for a few weeks, they really chilled me out and I did sleep better.

    Update, having a few blips last few days, some chest tightness, vague moments, bit shaky. Dealing with them by keeping busy and have taken the odd 2mg diazepam. Considering upping sertraline dosage from 150mg to 175mg, not sure yet, but have Psychiatrist so will discuss with him. I'm generally a lot better, but still have work to do. How's everyone else getting on?
