When will I improve?

I’m really struggling at the moment. Short term relationship ended abruptly after everything was going great.

I’m having a really hard time getting over this. It’s only been a week.

I was already on 40mg of citalopram. I’ve now been put on 100mg of sertraline but I’m feeling even lower now than before.

I’m seeing family for a week tomorrow and have 2 kids and really don’t want to breakdown in front of them.

Has anyone switched meds like this and how long will it take to improve?

Didnt want to read and run but they are pretty high doses you're on. Is there more going on than a relationship breakdown? Do you cope normally?

It took me a good couple of weeks - see your GP of it gets really bad. I thought I was losing my mind at first! In terms of a breakup, likewise you are probably in shock and need to give that a couple of weeks to assess how you are.

I’m on sertraline and when I started taking it it took about 6 weeks before I felt an improvement
