I've been on 50 mg of Sertraline since January and I upped my dosage to 100 mg about 3 weeks ago. I really haven't felt that they've helped me at all. Still wanting to curl up in a ball and sleep all day, I went back to the doctors today and she put my on 20mg Fluoxetine and told me to wean myself off the Sertraline and start taking this. I'm also 12 weeks pregnant, I'm just wanting to hear some others stories really. How long did it take for others to feel better on this drug?
Thanks for reading!

Hi, it's all about finding the right drug for you. I didn't get on with sertraline or fluoxetine but I know others that did. It's going to find time to find the right one. It should take around 6 weeks before u notice any difference, but being in the earlyish stages of pregnancy won't help hormones etc, but don't give up u will get there. I did and I never thought I would but I had to keep trying because of my kids. Panning positive things helped me too like a walk to the shop to get a magazine or meeting a friend for coffee. Sometimes I couldn't leave the front for though, but that did go x good luck xx
