Week 1 Sertraline completed
Posted , 3 users are following.
I've just finished my first week of Sertraline 50mg. . My taste has changed and I'm off dairy including milk! The first 3-4 days have been hard to the point i stayed in bed from Friday until this morning which is a significant slump even for me.
I was px'd it for depression/anxiety. How long do most people start getting good results from it? Today I've felt a little better.. The anxiety has been in peaks and waves rather than an all on assault and my mood seems a little brighter..
Am i being too optimistic? Is it perhaps too early after just one week for this to be working? I'm hoping to get to a place where I can summons the energy to get more active and return to some of the things i used to enjoy before becoming poorly.
thanks

I'm sorry you've been having such a rough time with meds and i hope that you find the right combination that suits you soon. Its hard for me to attribute any pains to sertraline because it's always been a symptom of my depression / anxiety. I take my 50mg at night and become immediately tired.. I wouldn't be able to take it am because of this.
Will the GP monitor my bloods? I'm suprised this wasn't done before the meds were started. Thanks for the tip re hydration.. Ive been trying to ensure i drink more water.
i think yesterday i may have jumped the gun as I woke up early today on a down.. What a merry go round we are all on!
i hope you wake today to muscles that are less sore and start to feel better x

6 weeks for me to see the differnace, however some only 2 weeks and some longer, all depends on the individual, i was bed ridden for 4 weeks which was not good because it made me very weak and dizzy, i couldnt stand for 2 weeks and had to ween myself into getting around the house and garden, 6 months on and still have bad days but most days are good and the bad are no way like the beggining, regarding eating, i lost 2 stone in 1 month, but everything started to return to normal around 6 week point.take care
