are you 4 days on sertraline ryan? if so don't get discouraged it took me weeks to feel the effects of meds .I've been on sertraline for 2 yrs now low dose paired with pregabalin and i do still have bad days but mostly good, i've been able to go back to work and leave the house(which i hadn't been able to for 2+ years without crippling panic attacks and fear, hang in and remain positive you will feel better its about finding the right meds dosage. Sending positive vibes✌

dazfoxy sometimes the weekends can do this to us, I think because, unlike week days we have no structure to our day, I dislike sundays greatly because of this, it gives me loads more time to think how I am feeling. It is great that you had a good day friday, very soon all your days will be good, once you have given the meds time to settle and worked out your correct dose

ryan hang on in there you are doing well, ups and downs, as frustrating as they are means meds are working just need to settle. you have come a long way from being on citalopram all you need now is time and patience, so very hard I know when all you want to be is back to normal. I am coming into 5th week on 50, just over 13 weeks in total and was doing great, till I got this cough/cold virus but hey ho I know it will pass and we will both be right as rain come the spring
