Sertraline

[Sienna04]

Hay I'm day 3 into sertraline and feel absolutely awful. Looking for some positive comments from people???

I really think they are starting to help. I definitely feel better, more positive, more hopeful, less negative thoughts, less ruminating.

The side effects are still bothering me a little bit - and not sleeping very well - but the benefits are starting to massively outweigh them.

It's strange - I really didn't expect them to work like this - I've been resisting going onto ADs for years and years. I was convinced I couldn't get any worse with side effects and cope. But a month in, I feel more like the 'old me' then I have for years.

I know they don't work for everyone, but from everything I've read over the last month, if you can stick it out for the first few weeks, most people seem to see good benefits.

I feel so hopeful now.

Hi am new to mumsnet been on sertraline for just over a month now I really felt they were starting to help but then the past 3 days have been awful my anxiety has been so bad. Am only on 25mg cos am really sensitive to medication. Is it normal to still have bad days do you think?I think I prob need to try and go up to 50 x.
