Sertraline success for the second time!

Posted , 14 users are following.

Hi everyone,

For those of you who haven't followed my posts this has been my second time on sertraline and I can finally 13 weeks later say it has worked again 😃

Check out my first success story post for more detailed information:

https://patient.info/forums/discuss/13-weeks-on-sertraline-my-success-story--540558

both times I have been on this medication it has taken 12-13 weeks to feel better. I was off work for 3 months and have now gone back and have been fine.

Doctors will say 6-8 weeks but with my experiences I still felt awful then. Please try and stick with it and perservere it is so worth it.

If anyone has any questions i will reply below xx

    Hi i know this was a while ago but how did you do with the zoloft? i was on celexa and it pooped out on me 7 months ago since then cant find a med that works . Have been on zoloft for 4 weeks. 25 mg for 2 weeks and 50 mg for 1 week. Now back on 25 cause i could not handle the 50. Anyways starting week 3 my anxiety and panic has been 10x worse.
