    Hi Don I'm sorry to hear that. Take each day as it comes. I've been on Sertraline for 10 weeks and today I feel like I'm in a nightmare! Feel so down and just want to be asleep. It's early days and I've been told it can take a while to work so keep in there and take care!

      Don't u think 200mg on 2nd week is to much people usually start on 50mg at first

      Yup, but Dr did cross over from 30mg citalopram reducing and on to 200mg this was over about 14 days. Idea is apparently to get max dose in and then move me down if isn't helping rather than other way round!? ??? Even pharmacist questioned the amount
