Feeling like I am going mad. Advice on Sertraline

This is my first post and I am hoping someone can help. I have been diagnosed with burnout but with severe anxiety disorder. I have been prescribed Sertraline and took 1/2 a tablet daily for 7 days I have now uppedthe dose to 1 tablet a day for the past 4 days and starting last night I feel so poorly. All symptoms are ten fold and I am crying all the time. My GP said side effects can do that but should only last a few days but I would like to know if anyone else has gone through this. I am so low. So nauseous I cant eat. I have taken a diazepam but it only seems to last 2 hours. I have not slept for 2 days and feel so alone. Can anyone share any support here ?

  • You will need to give the medication longer to work, say about three/four weeks.

    If you cannot bare taking them, see your GP

  • It might be the tablets kicking in or they might not suit you. When I started Cipralex 10mg I felt sick after taking it for the first few days and had some of the sexual side effects for the first few weeks but other than that I felt a million times better straight away.
