anxiety depression 2nd time round

[Blueeyewoman]

Hello

I have joined this group because when ever I google I come across negativity. I had anxiety and depression about 4 years ago. I found that Sertraline worked for me. I was able to go back into work and be me. In April this year I thought I was ok so I cut down from 50mg to 25. Then in June I came off them. I was doing well but the last month I was getting severe fatigue and I was going if off my food. I did have the contraceptive implant put in sept and I had it taken out end of December. I wasn’t sure if it was that giving me low mood and anxiety with dizzyness. Long story short I have gone back into Sertraline this is my 4th day I feel the same anxious and low mood. I am on 25mg I can not remember when I started to feel abit better. I am having low mood and anxiety peaks. I am walking everyday and it’s just frustrating me as I am scared and anxious. I hope I can find some good people on here to relate to.

I'm tired of the negativity when I google as well. I also have my ups and down as well. Anyway, hang in there. We'll get through this.

thank you I just want to start to feel the benefits of Sertraline again. It’s a low dose but I am so sensitive.

I know certain contraceptive implants can cause all sorts of of side effects taking them and stopping them. One is being anxious and depressed. But so can the other meds as well. When you start some meds it takes weeks to months to get out of your system and the same as when you start them. So give it some time . Depression causes fatigue but could be hormones etc. I’ve experienced same thing . I pray yours gets better each day blue eyes….

Try not to use the Internet and google your symptoms. It often makes the symptoms worse.
