Hi everyone, Ive been on 50mg sertraline for what will be 8 weeks tomorrow... i felt great week 6, was able to go out places, wasnt really feeling anxious at all, then week 7 has been AWFUL! Not as bad as when i first started but Im so anxious again, is this normal?? will it ever stop? seriously needing some reassurance and success stories cause it feels just never ending at this point, im exhaused! Thank you x

Have you been seeing any improvements at all since you started? If you have been having good days/weeks keep going it needs to level x

I take 10mg of propranalol a few times a day when I start to feel too panicky, it just stops my heart rate going through the roof doesnt do much for the actual anxiety though x

they gave me propronolol 10mg to take at night before sleep and hydroxyzine because my anxiety is the worst when i try to fall asleep. im sleeping probably 4 hrs . my psychiatrist now wants to switch me from sertraline to mirtazapine. or just add it onto the sertraline. im too scared to try anything at this point..

I know what you mean, anxiety is the worst thing to live with! If you feel you can manage, try stick it out another few weeks and see if you feel better.. but honestly theres no harm in trying something else if you already feel like crap anyway! X

week8 setraline , feeling alot better, rang gp and we increased dosage from 100mg to 150mg, and it seem to have some benefits, its reasonable to review your meds ,
im so pleased at he boost im returning to work on Monday with zero in trepidation .
so ring dr explain your symptoms as 50 mg is a very low dosage. ive increased 150.
Good luck
