Sertraline sucess?

Posted , 6 users are following.

has anybody had any sucess with sertraline? I took my first 50mg today.

after citalopram stopped working for me and trying every other dose of citalopram and a bad time with mirtazipine I'm worried I'm gonna be stuck feeling like this forever.

I'm feeling pretty vulnerable and fragile atm, not sure if its withdrawals from swapping to sertraline but any input would be much appreciated.

I feel at an all time low and just need some hope that sertraline will work.

    Hey Potato!

    Its trial and errror buddy.

    Hope it works for us both.

    Im on it two weeks and been hard.

    It says 12 to 16 weeks to see .

    If you change dose we start all over.

    Its a game isnt it these meds.

    hi, my Gp wanted to see me one month after i had started on sertraline. TO see if it was helping. it is very early days for you with the SERT YET, so you really need to stick with it. Therefore, seeing your Gp in SEPT sounds about right 😃

      thank you x it is definitely early days and I know I need to just keep going. it's tough but I know it needs to be done.

      I wish it would just work now ya know x

      sorry I wasnt sure if I did or not. so far it just seems to be added anxiety for me and not sleeping well. wake up super early no matter what time i fall asleep
