Week 3 of sertraline - anxious and sad

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hi everyone,

About a month back i had a bad panic attack out of no where. Since then, i have had anxiety and constant doubt about myself, my partner, and if i will ever be the same happy person i was before this. It is all such a shock to me as i have never felt like this before the panic attack. my doctor put me on sertaline 25mg for a week then 50mg after the first week. i am on week 3 (2 weeks on 50mg) and there have been so many ups and downs. before this my relationship was great with my partner and i was very happy. since all of these feelings i have been obssesing over her being the reason for me feeling this way, even when i am with her im wondering if she is the right one. It is driving me crazy because i have never felt this way before this happened. i just want to get back to loving her and giving her the love she deserves. i have also had a couple awful thoughts about being alone and unwanted thoughts that scare me. I also have such low libido even to the point it is making me question everything about me! There are times when i feel a bit better and then my mind starts racing again and blaming everything i can think of as to why this is happening. Please advise if anyone has had similar feelings or experiences as i just want to be my normal self again.

Thank you
