3 weeks today on sertraline

[LWestYorks]

I’m just looking for some reassurance as to how others felt on the 3 week mark? I’ve had a few better days but today I just feel like I’ve been hit by a bus, I couldn’t get out of bed this morning, really low and flat and anxiety through the roof. Did anyone else get this around the same time? I feel like they are never going to work 😩

I started on the half dose, taken first thing, and I did feel quite dozy but not anxious. Was quite nice. After that I can't remember but I do know it has really improved my life. I bob back up after negative thoughts rather than stay low, for example .
I do think there should be more support for the early days as it can be quite distressing and you can't tell what's normal/ what will pass. I hope it settles.

Keep going. My daughter started on Sertraline this time last year. She felt really unwell for the first month, increased anxiety, dizziness but at about the 6 week mark things started to settle. It took 12 weeks for it to really make a positive difference.

The wait seemed endless at the time but it was absolutely worth it, she is so much better and her life has completely turned around.

Best of luck 💐
