Setraline

[Sfqueen]

So 3 weeks ago a switch to setraline from Prozac after being on Prozac for 4 weeks. I was ok for 3 days then the anxiety started again 2 days again. I feel tired once again palpitations and headaches does that mean it doesn't work for me? Help

I have been on Prozac for four weeks now too. I was OK for a few days too and then panic attacks and feeling awful. I am afraid to stop the meds for fear of withdraw symptoms so I keep taking them and hoping for a miracle. They killed my appetite too. Have you talked to your doc about this? I have an appointment the 27th and I will let you know what my doc says.

How much are you taking? Yeah but when I did I was fine so I thought they were working.! I was on Prozac 20mg and I didn't have any withdrawals switching to setraline.

I am on 20 mg once a day. I wish it worked for me! I was really hoping it would be a magic pill, but so far it's made things worse. I wonder how long it takes for them to work on average. I keep seeing different time frames when I research it. My doc said it was the fastest acting drug,,,but didn't give me a time frame. Sick of it!

I know the feeling some people say 8 weeks, after 4-5 weeks I didn't see any improvements and doctor switched me I know your frustration I felt the same way I felt worse than before I hoping this one works I will pray for you

I have been on loads of different things but luckily for me I was put on sertraline 6 months ago ., maybe I was lucky but I feel really good! Maybe just luck but give it a chance been on 100mg a day ! We are all different but it has been best thing ever for me ! Good luck x

Buy the way I also started taking magnesium citrate every day ! Not sure if that has helped but I know I feel so much better after panic & anxiety was driving me crazy ! Plus b complex vits !

Hope it works for you !!!

How long did it take to kick in?

[Wendymary in reply to Sfqueen]

To be honest it was a while ago I was weened off venalfaxine onto the sertraline I think I felt a lot better after 3/4 weeks ., I also stopped any alcohol & upped my vitamins feel so much better., plus eating really healthy lots of fruit/veg

Good luck x
