On ADs and anxiety has turned into depression

[Kissisforpirate]

At least i think it has. Been on sertraline since Jan for anxiety as that was my biggest problem then. I felt fab for a few months but for the last month I have started getting some anxiety but am mostly just feeling really sad and this week things have been a real struggle.

What do i do? Do i need a different drug or just to up my dose? I'm on 100mg now. I don't know if it should be taking away all the anxiety or if i should still expect to be up and down. I'm going to make a Drs appt to review my prescription but I'd like to know a bit more about how it all works before the appointment.

Asking your GP for a review sounds like a good idea. When I had been on Mirtazapine for a few months my anxiety was well controlled, but I was if anything more lethargic and listless. My GP did a blood test and found I had an underlying vitamin D deficiency and treating this made a huge difference.

Thank you. It's not lethargy as such, just overwhelming sadness. I just want to go to bed and shut everything out, including my lovely little son. I haven't felt like this in a very long time and its shit. But I'm still managing work and every day stuff and other ppl might not know i feel so bad, but I've always hid this shit well.
