Grief and medication

[loopykay]

I've been taking sertraline for almost a year. This time last year I was at my lowest ever, It took a lot to ask for help. I don't know if the medication helped or me changing a few things. I still have anxiety issues but can cope.

My Dad passed away almost 3 weeks ago. I'm all over the place, up and down. My anxiety has increased and I struggle when out. Shaking, world spinning, sweating, disorientated. I don't know if I should speak to the GP about upping my dose or is this part of grief and no medication can help?

I'm sorry for your loss

I would talk to the GP. Of course you are grieving and of course that will have an impact, but if a (temporary?) increase in dose means that you can get out of the house and function day-to-day, then it's probably worth it.
