Hi everyone.
I suffer with anxiety which seems to have led to depression.
I've was on citalopram for about 2 years but found I couldn't sleep, so the gp moved me onto sertraline 50mg.
I recently asked the gp about increasing my dose as I was finding myself getting stressed a lot and just not feeling very happy. I've been on 100mg for about a month. I had palpitations after about 2weeks but these seem to have settled. I am sleeping slightly better but still not brilliantly. The main worry I have is that I seem I drift between feeling really angry to feeling like a zombie. The smallest thing sets me off and I have to really try hard to not shout at my kids all the time. They are really good so I don't understand why I'm being so unreasonable.
I also have no motivation to do things that need doing, like cleaning the house. There are toys everywhere and dust and everything to do with housework just feels like too much.
My question is, could this mean that the sertraline isn't working or could it just be the adjustment to a bigger dose. I also find I'm more forgetful with little things which makes me feel more angry at myself.
I'm thinking of going to the gp, but I don't want o bother him with this if it's normal to feel like this.
Thanks for reading and for any advice.
