Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi

Iv bee on sertraline 25mg for 31days now and for the past 4 days iv not

felt to good. Nauseous. Dizzy. Feeling I'm burning up. Jittery.

I'm not really feeling anxious or deppressed just really out of sorts.

Has anyone else felt like this on nearly week 6.

Thought the side effects would have gone by now.

    Julie89512 what strength are you on? I have been steadily increasing my dose from 25mg every five days and now on 150mg for 4 days. My pdoc says 150 to 200mg is the therapeutic dose for anxiety.

      Hi.

      I'm on 25mg, but I don't want to up the dose until my body has got use to this strength. I tend to be very sensitive to

      medication, I had to come off beta blockers a very low dose

      Because it was making my heart rate to slow and I was passing out. So that's why I'm still on 25mg.

      I don't feels as anxious as I did before, but the side effects are

      making me feel ill.

      Some say that some people had a dip in week 6-8 due to our

      bodies getting used to the medication.

      Week 4-5 were good felt like myself. Even started listening

      again. Want to get back to living my life

      Thank you for relying x
