Looking for peoples views on first of all taking sertraline and how it helps and after what time period that is. Stopped taking paroxetine 10mg on 28th July. Next day started on 25mg sertraline for two weeks now on 4th week of 50 mg sertraline

Have read that the 3rd and 4th week of taking 50mg are the worst which has happened to me. Dr has given me 2mg diazepam to help with the very high anxiety. Took 2mg Sunday afternoon but no effect so was suggested I took two 2mg before bed which I did and then I took a 2mg the next morning which was Monday felt really good so didn’t take any more that day and ended up sleeping 8 hours which is the first time in over week. So yesterday again didn’t take any as well as felt good

Woke up this morning with the anxiety back so took one 2mg diazepam but as Sunday afternoon when I took one has had no effect. Should I then up the dosage to start with.

Has anyone had experience with either or both these medications just really want to feel normally again feel so down does it get better soon I really hope so

I’ve just started on both, only started 5 days ago. I take my sertraline in the morning, so that it doesn’t affect my sleep. I take a 2mg diazepam as and when needed, usually in the morning and then before bed. Sometimes I feel they help and other times I don’t feel they do but we have to push through and get to the stage that the sertraline are able to do their job. No matter how hard it feels. I have terrible anxiety constantly sick and nauseas but I know this is the only way to improve things x x
