Sertraline shakes/thoughts
Posted , 4 users are following.
So ive done a few posts now about myself & gad
Ive just entered week 4 on sertraline done 1 week at 50mg and this is my 3rd week on 100mg
I done a post on intrusive thoughts ive had these 6 days now and although they dont seem ad bad just wondering if anyone nos when they will go?
Also i still have the shakes which ive had for 4 weeks sometimes they die down then they come back, anyone no how long till they subside? I no i got to give it a little longer for meds to kick in but these 2 things together really putting a downer on everyday
Thanks

Kayleigh, even if you are on med and it seems to be working, if you are more stressed than usual, you'll get more intrusive thoughts and feel more shakes. Like I said, you have to give it 2-3 more weeks, that's my guess. Also, don't forget, when you first start to recover it feels like waves - you'll be all over the place, good and bad states fluctuating many times ina day. And so, hang in there. Xx

Take it one day at a time. Sometimes you may even have to take hours at a day. When you start to recover, it's inconsistent because the med hasn't settled in your system yet. Just try not to be HALTS (hungry, angry, lonely, tired, and stressed). Get a lot of rest if you can. Sleep lots if you can. And keep occupied if you are awake.

Funnily enough I glamorously dropped my phone down the bog yday because I had the shakes. They come and go for me, but I'd take the shakes over the intrusive thoughts without a doubt. How did your CBT initial appointment over the phone go? I had my first CBT session on Wednesday night and I actually quite enjoyed it.
