hey everyone. x
I'm 4 weeks in on 50mg and it's been one hell of a tough few weeks.
anxiety,panick,low mood, sick, dizzy, detached, emotional,
was hoping people who have had sucess on sertraline to post there positive stories. just to give a little boost for everyone who is suffering.
feel like giving up but need to keep pushing on so any positive stories to help would be great x

I have been on 50mg for 39 days now (5 1/2 weeks). I do feel better altogether with two days now in a row where anxiety has dropped to very low levels. Also, my sleep has improved. Two days ago, though, I had a miserable time for a day and a half. Lack of sleep then was worse than anything else.
It's still rocky now with ups and downs but altogether I think it's going in the right direction. There are times now where I feel almost completely normal. Knock on wood that the next weeks will bring more stability and consistent sleep!

Thank you. good to know things are looking up! the fact your sleep has improved is good and lower anxiety is good too! that's good news and let's hope that it keeps improving for you. fingers crossed.
sounds like despite the bad days you had it is going in the right direction. not long until you improve even more!
