Hi There,
I’ve recently been taking Sertraline (2 weeks, 3 days) as I’ve been suffering badly with anxiety which led to depression. All stemmed from almost a marriage breakdown and sudden shock around that, just haven’t been able to pick myself but up.
Was super scared to take them but know it’s good to try at least. I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced the side effects I have?
I wake up at 5am each morning in panic mode. I can drift off fine and stay asleep but 5am comes round and I wake up sweaty and in doom. I’ve lost my appetite and feel more anxious which has led to upset stomach for the whole time. I’ve had some days of feeling lighter but also had two really low days where I’ve felt lower than I did before.
I was on 25mg for a week and now up to 50mg. Is all this normal and how long does it take to balance out? Xx
