    Congratulations on the birth of your daughter and so glad you could enjoy the experience do you mind me asking how long you have been on the sertraline. Also do u no if it normal to get a dull achy feeling from my left shoulder it's the same time everyday which I find weird.

      Been on sert for 8 weeks on 50mgs. No increase needed. Let me tell you honestly that it does take time and does feel like it doesnt work for awhile even at 5 or 6 weeks but honestly it will work. It feels like a miracle.

    How long before the panic went I'm the same anxiety 24/7 worrying thinking all the time too scared to go out too scared to be on my own thinking I will pass out through the dizziness I'm on 25mg for 1 week (day 2) then to increase to 50mg ive also tried various AD in the past 6 months but find my body reacts to them either that or it's the panic disorder spiralling out of control I generally feel like crap

      Hi there. These tablets take atleast 8 weeks to work but you do notice things getting better by week 6 then its the odd few days here and there. Im still getting better and been on 50 mgs for 8 weeks as i started on 50mgs no increase at all and dont think i need it. By weeks 7 my panic had gone completely and by weeks 6 my anxiety was getting less and less
