Sertraline 6months in anxious

[SeaShell33]

Six months ago my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer which she has almost completed chemotherapy for.
I had a breakdown and went back on Sertraline. I spent 4 weeks in insomnia hell before 3 nights of Zopiclone got me back on track sleeping and my anxiety and mood improved.
Last week I started CBT and the anxiety and now insomnia is back. I had two hours sleep last night. I’m terrified of going through the insomnia again.
Since Sunday I’ve had to really battle with my anxiety and mood pulling on every positive thought and pushing out the negative.
I feel so depressed after having over 4 months of low manageable anxiety and many days of no anxiety and now feel like I’m back to square one.
Any advice on anxiety around being able to sleep?
Or anyone had a setback in their antidepressants a few months in?
Thank you

Sorry to hear you are struggling.

I have no advice (Sorry!) but I can offer my experience.

I was prescribed Sertraline about a year ago for OCD. It was a great relief for a while but around the 5-6 month mark, I dipped and found myself going through the previous ‘rituals and routines’ I had been subject to before, after a stressful period at work. I eventually got back to the GP who upped the dosage slightly and that helped. I’m now back on the previous dose.

I really hope things improve for you and your family

Thank you that's really helpful I will consider contacting my GP xxx
