Life after Sertraline - surge of energy?

4 replies

PeterPipersPepper · 15/04/2024 21:35

After 18 months on Sertraline for anxiety, I am now fully weaned off. It did make me tired and lethargic but it was great for my anxiety symptoms.

Now it’s out of my system I have so much more energy. It’s 9.30pm and I’m cleaning out a kitchen cupboard. I’d usually be in bed! I have small children and work full time. Did anyone else experience this? And does it last?!

Thank you.

I've tapered from 150mg to 50mg and feel the same. Worried it's not going to last and I'll come crashing down.

How long ago did you taper to 50? Hope you’re feeling OK

Now I reflect on it a bit more, it feels like manic energy….!! So I’m waiting for the crash. Hope it’s not too awful when it comes.
