Sertraline week 6
Posted , 1 user is following.
First time posting on here but i have read so many posts which really helped me so i thought i would give back in the hope it encourages someone!
i started 25mg of sertraline for bad anxiety and mild depression. i took it for 4 weeks and had difficult side effects such as headaches, shakes, increased anxiety (didnt think i could get more anxious!) nausea and horrible dizziness and weird sensations in my head! also had some really low hopeless days. i persisted even though some days were rough as i knew it gets worse before better. after 4 weeks i upped to 50mg and the side effects went after a week or so. im on week 6 of 50mg so 10 weeks in total and i feel so so much better! no side effects other than the odd night sweat. my depression has lifted and i am about 75% better from an anxiety point of view. so my advice for anyone who is struggling with meds and side effects - continue as they do help, just have to give it time!
