Hi All,
When do you know it’s time to change ADs? I was on 50mg sertraline for 6 weeks 75mg for 2 weeks and been on 100mg for 6 days but I honestly don’t feel the side effects have ever gone. I am really lightheaded/drunk feeling, short of breath and feel so weak and drained. My anxiety has eased a little but the side effects are really effecting my life.

Hi James,
honestly it took a long time after my final time adjusting to 100mg , like 12 weeks but it varies from person to person however do t get disheartened it has only been 6 days on new dose a d it all starts again when you go up another dose.
so stick it out, keep up the good work you will see improvements here and there and then you will get better and better. It does work but it is a very slow drug to work but when it does you will start feeling better for a few hours then longer and longer.. best of luck Xx

hi samantha,
i'm still getting really lightheaded. Its now day 13 and just need reassurance as i didn't feel so lightheaded on 50mg but it wasn't helping my anxiety that much
