Switching from Sertraline, Interested in Success stories please!
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi!
Ive been struggling bad since last August. Wasted 9 weeks on Lexapro, nearly killed me, it was living hell, switched to Sertraline but not much better. Ive been on it for 22 weeks, pure suffering, still feeling sick and anxious, still brain fog, headaches, derealisation, and the list goes on.. I would be interested in success stories if someone here switched to Venlafaxin from Sertraline, Zoloft and had success. How did the transition go, how bad/severes side effects you had etc.
TIA
Kind Regards,
B

do any of you guys suffer depersonalisation and feel disconnected and unable to concentrate on anything etc when you get bad anxiety?

I get brain fog which is similar to depersonalisation in some ways. it's not uncommon to get DP when really really anxious. it's a defence mechanism but makes you feel worse doesn't it bless you. I know a few people who have had it. it will go when your anxiety gets better!

yeah sounds the same as me tbh. I can barely function when it happens. even simple tasks take so much effort. it's scary when it hits and then you just feel a thousand times worse.
have you decided what your next step will be.
how are you feeling today?
