Sertraline not working? Feeling anxious

[Sloegin2]

Hi,

I’ve been on 150mg sertraline for 2 months now.
I’m not feeling any better. The horrible anxiety, massive lows and crying is still there. I’ve had to go back to work after 2 months off and I’m worried about how I’ll cope.
I’m going back to the GP today- but I should be feeling at least a bit better by now, shouldn’t I?

Hi there, yes after 2 months it's definitely long enough to see a difference. Most people feel better after 4-6 weeks. It's also worth trying mindfulness meditation alongside whichever tablets you are prescribed. X

I recently spoke with a psychiatrist who said that the anti anxiety components of these drugs require higher doses than depression. Maybe your Dr could consider a dose increase?
