Sertraline- time to change?

Hi all,

I’ve been on sertraline since September 2023, have tried the 75mg and 100mg doses but they make my intrusive thoughts worse so I’m at 50mg. I feel better than I did when I first started them but still not great- i have very down days and still cry a lot. I feel like I just exist and don’t really live.

We are in the process of buying a house and although I’m not s*icdal I did have the thought “what if we buy the place and then I do something and he can’t afford it alone”. That to me felt like a thought I shouldn’t be having. Should I be looking to switch antidepressants? I’m really scared to try a new type as the first few weeks on AD’s are so rough but also don’t want to feel this way forever.

any advice or help would be great :)

How old are you? Could it be also be hormonal on top of depression?
