Struggling with medication

[SHEPHER]

Im struggling with my meds I am on Sertraline 125MG for anxiety and depression and Amitriptaline 10mg for nerve pain I have been on 100mg sertraline for many years with no problems but had a blip In life I tried going up to 150mg but I was horrendous so came down to 125mg which is not much better I have only been on the 10mg of Amitriptaline for around 6 weeks and it was helping both with pain and sleep i have notices the last 10 day I'm struggling with my sleep again. I find i feel so sickly on waking on most days. I am hoping things will get better.

Thanks RusticMom when you changed did you have to wean off sertraline before starting Citalipram and how long did it take you to feel better.

[SHEPHER]

What do you mean it may take a minute. What I'm afraid of and don't think I can take anymore bad side effects.

Thanks so much for your advice.

Hi.....my gp changed my meds from Mirtazapine to Setraline (100mg)

However they did not help much, in fact they made me feel worse. I made an appt with a private gp & he put me on amitriptyline started at 25mg & increasing gradually to 100mg which I have been taking for about 3months now & I am now feeling a lot happier.

It's not a miracle cure but definitely the best med so far ( for me anyway) xx

hi x l have been on sertraline for a while on 50 mg recently increased to 100 mg and going through some side effects 9 weeks x it takes a while to adjust to any medication change and to level again. My hormones are playing a massive part in my anxiety too x my side effects include anxiety panic breathlessness aching weakness of body etc x dr days we could change meds but couldn’t go through all of the changes again x

[SHEPHER in reply to RayannAbbey]

I feel the same the Dr wants to change my meds but I can't go through it all again

[RayannAbbey]

how long on 125 mg did you get any side effects x x I am 9 weeks in x x do you feel weak or breathless?

[SHEPHER in reply to RayannAbbey]

I have been on 125mg around 2months my problem is my stomach is churning all the time and yes I do feel weak

[RayannAbbey in reply to SHEPHER]

Would you say more so since the increase ? Do you feel anxious still? X

[SHEPHER in reply to RayannAbbey]

I was on 100mg for many years and was ok, I had a health scare and it triggered my anxiety and depression gp put me up to 150mg I realy couldn't handle the side effects she dropped me down to 125mg don't know if it was in my head because I just don't want to take these drugs. I am still struggling on the 125 so I don't know what the Dr will do on my next visit I do have depression also

[RayannAbbey in reply to SHEPHER]
