I've been on every antidepressant there is. Sometimes when you change a dosage you may feel worse before you feel better. If you are having suicidal thoughts though, you should call your prescriber right away.
I am also on sertriline and when I upped my dose it made me feel sick foggy tired and anxious. I tried it for a few days but I just went back down to my normal dose. Sometimes meds can do the opposite for people and make things worse.

I just feel like an empty shell walking around lately.
I know how you feel! ;(

You think it ever gets better? over 20 years I've been fighting this. It goes away for a little while then comes back and ruins everything. I dont want to live like this anymore.
I've been dealing with it for about 15 years. I don't think it ever goes away just different ways of coping. It sure is hard... my thoughts are horrible.
