Hello.
I've been taking 50g sertraline for 3 months but because over the past few weeks I've been feeling a lot better Ive been forgetting to take the pill. In the last 18 days I only took 11 of them. I didn't think this was a problem until today when all the anxiety that debilitated me at the end of last year came back with a vengeance.
Any comments would be a real help as today has been very hard.
Do people think that not being strict with the intake is the sole reason for today's tears?
Thank you.

ive been on an upwards trend and Tuesday had a downward bout which is slowly going now, my psychiatrist assured me that the road to recovery is rocky and you get tough times, the thing to do is keep telling yourself it's just temporary and you will feel improvement soon, maybe even better than before.

This is a catch 22 situation type of question
its difficult to predict , did you miss them for like a week solid or forget to take them one day but not the next ,
If I missed a dose longer than a day albeit
Paroxetine I started getting brain zaps
So I kinda knew that I missed a dose

The general rule is if we forget to take it on a particular day, then we should take it at the soonest available time closest to the time of day when we normally take it.
In your case, I suspect that as the beneficial effects of this drug started to work on you giving you much relief and allowing you to feel much better, possibly a feeling of over-confidence took over and you thought that you might have been completely cured.
This often happens to people and then they pay the price by hitting rock bottom again with intense anxiety.
What has happened to you is to be expected, so I would suggest that you try to rectify the situation by putting yourself back on your medication as soon as possible.
A visit to your doctor would not be out of place just to make him/her aware of the circumstances as to why your health might have taken a downward turn.

So don't forget to take your medication, if you want to feel better.
