Backstory - Sertraline 50mg worked well for ages, until it no longer did and the anxiety took over. Tried upping it but to no avail.
I was switched to XR 37.5 Venfalaxine which helped with both low mood and the anxiety , but I stopped due to it sedating me too much (I took it at night but the next day I was wiped still - like a zombie
I went back on to sertraline 50 and then 100 but it did not help the anxiety like the venfalaxine did, so I have decided to go back on it but the normal one (not XR)
Mental health nurse has said to take it twice a day but the morning one wipes me for the whole day!!!! Not an issue at night of course as I can sleep etc.
Cutting the tablet up does not seem possible (too small)
Has anyone else just taken one 37.5mg rather than it twice a day?
Any other advice?
TIA
