Still having issues.

So its been two weeks now taking sertraline, over the past week the side effects I've been feeling and my anxiety have been getting better. But yesterday and today it has been far worse. Head pulses, and dizzyness have been almost constant. I was told to up my dose starting tomorrow (25mg to 50mg), but I honestly am having my doubts if its gonna feel like this.

Hey I’ve been on sertraline for 2 months now and I had the same doubts as you.. usually it takes 4-8 weeks before you get to feel the full benefits of it that starting up process is the hardest but it’ll pay off if you can just hang in there! I still have times where I’ll get anxiety and depressed but that’ll last for an hour or two but overall I feel waaay better than before I started

Hope that's the case, cause this is becoming a pain. Physically and mentally.

Just had a massive panic attack, not sure if its from not having enough meds in my system, the fact someone I knew died yesterday (friday) or what. I can't sleep, my brain is zapping and spinning, my mouth is dry and tingling. I just feel wrong. I keep thinking something is in my head. I want it to stop.

Try and relax I know easier said than done but you stressing is giving the anxiety what it wants x
