I have been on sertraline for 6 months now, the max dose for alot of that time. It seemed to be effective after a few months but then I took a dip. I really don't know what is happening with me. I feel very anxious and jittery alot of the time. My thoughts are all over the place and I can't concentrate or focus on anything. Even writing this is hard, so sorry if I am all over the place. My depression is getting worse and this jittery feeling inside that makes me feel something awful is about to happen is also there alot more. Still not as bad as before I started taking the meds but certainly in the wrong direction really. I need to get better not worse. I find it hard to even do meditations now which used to help.
My family and friends that I have told don't understand. They really don't. I have been having intrusive thoughts too. There I said it. I have not told anyone as it makes me sound crazy. I don't think I would hurt myself but the thought is there alot. I very much want to live and be healthy so I don't know why I think these things.
I dont want to switch meds.I did online cbt for a short while but I seem to have forgotten anything from it.
I dont want to feel down like this any more and I don't want to feel this anxiety any longer.
Can anyone offer advice or something uplifting please.
