When did sertraline start working for you?

My GP prescribed me 50mg last Tuesday so technically on my tenth day of taking it. The first couple of days were tough, lots of shaking and sweating and feel like I was in a daze. Those side effects have pretty much gone but the tiredness is extreme. I take it right before I go to sleep, wake up tired, then by lunch time I’m ready for a nap. I’m also not really feeling any different anxiety/depression wise although I know it’s still early days. I honestly feel worse now than I did before. Please send any positivity my way if you have any regarding this!

I had two weeks off work and started taking sertraline. By the time I went back to work they were taking effect and I was feeling a lot better.

About 2 weeks of feeling rubbish and then I started feeling a lot better.

All the anti depressants I've been in doctors have recommended two weeks off work for adjustment period, sometimes it gets worse before it gets better but it's just you getting used to them, same as the other, sertraline took two weeks, for me it was the best one I've been in. If after two/three weeks you're still feeling like this go back to your gp to either try a higher dose or a completely different medication (there's many different ones they can try you on)

About 2 to 3 weeks for me now I wouldn't be with out them.

10-14 days for me until I started feeling better and then they were brilliant.

At least 2 to 3 weeks for me

Thank you all. Fingers crossed I feel the effects soon.

The knackered wears off and the fog starts to lift at around 2 weeks. Improvement that you can actually notice at around 6 weeks.
