Why do I suddenly feel so low again?

[Surfdayssun]

After not getting on with Citalopram, I was started on Sertraline 50mg. I continued this for around 5 weeks before the GP increased my dose to 100mg as the improvement levelled off.
I have now been on 100mg for about 2 weeks and was doing ok until Thursday when I suddenly felt so low and sad again. I have no energy and feel like I want to cry but for some reason I can’t. Why would this suddenly happen?

I don't know OP but didn't want to read and not respond. I've been on 40mg Citalopram for years but I've completely crashed in the last week. Sometimes it just happens. I hope you feel better soon.

Is it ovulation or just before your period? I can feel that then. Or maybe you have picked something up and need a rest. Hope you feel better soon.

Thankyou both for your replies. I think it’s too soon to up my dose again, although I’m not sure how long an increased dose takes to kick in?
I hate the feeling of being so up and down, I wake up so anxious and never know if it’s going to be an ok or bad day.
Could be around ovulation time I think, that’s true, last month the two days before my period I was a complete mess.

I'm the same. I'm on citalopram and went up to 20 mg in February, but this week have felt like I'm slipping down again.
Not sure if it's normal but wanted you to know there's others.

@bobishere it’s good to know but also sorry your feeling that way too!! I kind of just assumed that once the meds started to work, that would be it and I would just consistently feel ok.

You too.
I thought the same. Actually, I'd delayed going onto tablets in case they left me emotionless, no highs or loss.
I'm looking into the tapping method, and I think in my case its a lot to do with Imposter Syndrome.
I hope you feel better soon.

Yep I delayed saying anything at all then didn’t pick up the tablets for a while because I worried what effect they would have. So far I’ve had about 2 weeks where I was stable ish and started to feel ok. Last few days I’m full of anxiety and unsure if I can manage work.
