Setraline 3 weeks (50 mg to 100mg)

[Plant2628]

I've been on sertraline before. Had a period of intense work stress. 3 weeks of a constant anxiety attack and a few panic attacks in that time. I've OCD and anxiety - am obsessed with things being perfect, and a responsible job. I'm desperate to feel better but it's not happening. 2 weeks on 50mg and been on 100 mg 10 days. Do I need to give it more time? Could the circumstances just be too much for it to help me? Thanks.

You’ve only been on the higher dose for 10 days and in my experience it takes 2-3 weeks to start to feel better (for anxiety and depression. I don’t have any experience of OCD though). Has it helped at all or are you feeling just the same?

Hi there OP. Im on sertraline for low anxiety and OCD. Was on it for 7 years, just had 3 months off but back on again. Its a game changer for my health anxiety and compulsive checking so id say stick with it for at least 4 weeks, see how you are early next week? Maybe preemptively book the gp appointment tomorrow so you have some sort of light at the end of the tunnel. You are likely near turning the corner around about now but i know its hell waiting for the breakthrough.

Thank you all and yes debilitating, hate feeling this way

Anyone else experience?
