Hello,

Just looking for some advice and others experiences.

I am on my 5th day of Sertaline for treatment of anxiety. From everything I have read the way it is working for me doesn’t seem normal? After day 2 my anxiety has totally gone but instead I am left with a real feeling of numbness. I am so calm it is untrue. I have never ever felt this calm in my whole life. At the same time I don’t really feel happy either. I don’t really feel much at all.

Is this normal? Will this go away so that I actually feel more like myself but minus the anxiety.

I never been on an AD before so really not sure what to expect. But on this I just feel dulled. Do I need a smaller dose?

Thanks

Hi

I have no real advice yet as I've just been prescribed this today. I'll start tomorrow.

What size dose are you taking?
