Sertaline advice

I have now been taking sertaline for approx 8 weeks. I was on 50mg for 4 weeks then increased to 100mg which ive been taking for 4 weeks. I keep having the odd day where i feel great. But these are few and far between. Most days i feel neither happy or sad. Is this part of the process of getting used to the medication and levelling out?

It could very well be that the increase in the medication hasn't reached it's full

efficacy yet. Always keep in touch with your doctor, letting them know the effects

you are having. Feel better soon :) xx

I took Sertaline but it did not help me. But I was also taking Wellbutrin. The combination was terrible. Like Agora says, keep in touch with your doctor. I had mood swings even though I felt good, it was too much.
