SERTRALINE 25MG FEELING NERVOUS

[Maria19912022]

Hello.
So I've been put on sertraline 25mg then to increase to 50mg after 2 weeks of 25mg for severe depression PTSD and emotional unstable personality traits.
I am on day 10, and this whole week I've done nothing but sleep ALL DAY! I have no motivation, I feel my anxiety is rocketing and for me I suffer depression more so than anxiety so this is really affecting me.
I haven't been able to do anything I usually can, I'm detached and nervous.
I am due to go away with friends next weekend and I'm so scared about it, I don't want to drink because the side effects and what ive read about it but it's making me feel anxious even the thought of going.
I wanted to know, how long until these side effects will pass? Has anyone increased doses and then had another spiral of side effects?
I'll be on these for long term so it is the best thing for me but I am so scared!!!

The first week or two can be tough but it does get much better. I’ve been on 200mg for many years and don’t feel any side effects, but I can well remember those early days on 25mg. I think I felt a little weird with the next increase to 50mg but after that it was never an issue.

Enjoy your time with your friends. I actually got invited to stay with friends at the end of my first week on it and it was a really good distraction.

Hi, OP
How did you get on?
I have been prescribed 50mg but I'm taking half a tablet to start with.
How long did the side effects last?
