Hello all!

I have been on sertraline 50mg for 10 weeks today.  Recently I have had some stressful situations that I have taken on with no issues at all.  However, These last 2 days have been kind of weird.  Yesterday I had a mild panic attack that I was able to overcome with the help of friends and family. My only concern now is this feeling of lightheadedness.  I thought I was over the hump as I have been GREAT for the last 2-3 weeks, but apparently not. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Hi Christina 

    Stress is a horrible thing and I’ve been like you well on sertraline only 25 for 5 months however there’s been times that have gotten stressful even small things like my 8 year old been annoying and I get light headed. 

    Remember there’s no pill that will rid any anxiety or depression completely maybe try meditation or going for a walk and don’t forget how far you’re come.. 

    I like listening to Micheal sealy on utube I sometimes listen to him during the day with headphones on n at night..

      Hey Trish!

      Thanks for replying back! You have no idea how much it helps to have someone who feels the same thing as you do! I have been listening to Podcasts and it totally helps! I too have a 9 year old who annoys me to no end! lol I know that it will pass, it just sucks that I feel like I'm back to square one.....

    Hi Christina, I can absolutely say yes. I am also on 50, and also alittle over 12 weeks. Some days I feel great, but other days are alittle shakey. I have minor panic, a few times. But nothing like I had before. The only difference is i get headaches, and my head feels like it's full, weird right. But I think that it's going to get better. One person I read about took him up to six months to feel completely like himself

    But each person is different. So hang in there, be strong. This too will pass.

    Hi Christina,

    I also have been on Sertraline for about 10 weeks at 50mg, light headedness was one of my original symptoms as well, but since being on the medication I too am still feeling light headed though! Very annoying and nothing has changed for that side effect sadly so I can relate, but also have been told it can take a while to adjust to these new meds. I dunno if it helps but yeah smile
