Hi all, I've just joined the forum so look forward to learning from you all.

Sertraline worked really well for me right from Week 2 and I've been feeling better and better. Have lost a few pounds too. But now at the end of Week 7, my anxiety has returned, I'm constantly breaking out in sweats, and the weight loss has stopped. Is this usual? Will it pass?

I'm taking one x 50 mg at bedtime.

Thanks, Sue

    Hi Sue,

    Hope all is well.

    I am the same as you, i get waves of anxiety just coming on.

    I kinda done a bad thing thinking after a few weeks i was feeling better so i came off my tablets 😦.

    I am now on day 2 of 100mg, really rough acid reflux, headaches, just feeling rough.

    You feeling ok today?

    Many Thanks

    James
