absolutely normal. Sometimes it takes 4 to 5 weeks to level out. Frustrating I know. I hope you have better days.

My GP said it can take up to 12 weeks before you feel the full benefit of them. I am on week 9 and have really started feeling the benefit recently. only had 1 bad day this week. It is gradual but I think it is worth sticking it out.

I was 7 weeks before my days were all good. I went from 50 to 75 at 4 weeks and I think with each increase you need to give it time to work aswell. I have been on sertraline now since October last year and haven't looked back feeling fantastic.
You will get there

sorry for butting in but I am hoping to feel better days as well. I am 75 mg. started at 25mg April11th for 2 weeks than 50 fot three now 75 on my 4th week. Was starting to despair or thinking of switching. Really don't want to do this as I have invested so much time with all thr side effects. So what your saying is there is still hope??
