The journey of hell and back and somewhere between
Posted , 5 users are following.
I started nearly 5 months ago on 50mg of sert I improved but dropped when my partner returned to work they then put me on 75mg and then 100mg at 100mg I had a few good days in a row but anxiety hit again with low mood crying. 125mg no difference made. Now day two of my second try of 150mg and I'm so tired I can barely move I just wanna lay here all day but iv three children. I feel so anxious it's like my brain is searching for the anxious feeling all the time. Should this settle? I'm yawning all the time. I see a p doctor so I have to trust them. They keep me on the med as I had them few good days so they say it must be working . My anxiety is crippling iv no life left.

I've completely stopped them now after a hellish time with with withdrawal symptoms! I never, ever want to feel like that again, but at the same time, they served me well, but I'm so relieved I don't take Sertraline (or any meds) any more.
Are you taking the same brand? I couldn't believe how the same drug from different companys could differ so much. I could only take Lustral. Any other brand made me so ill. I just couldn't function properly. It took a little while to make the connection, but as soon as I went back on Lustral, I felt so much better!
Don't forget too, it does take a while for the drugs to work. Can take a number of weeks, so just hang in there or speak to GP for advice.
I can relate to the yawning too!!! I felt it was the only way to get a good breath of air in! This is another symptom (of many!!) anxiety will throw at us! The more you think about yawning, the more you do it. I could have a conversation with my Mum or friends for an hour and not yawn once, but as soon as I put the phone down, I started again!
I do hope you feel better soon, it's not a nice place to be, but hopefully you have support around you and can start enjoying life again. It does get better, honest!!!!
