hi increased my sertraline 10 weeks ago to 100 mg anybody experience head pressure and ear fullness ?

It is pretty normal. Especially when just increasing. Very uncomfortable but should go away after some time.

thank you did you experience this ?

[Hidden in reply to RayannAbbey]

I did! Had a few very minor symptoms like sweating, and blurry vision at first too.

How long have you been on this?

[Hidden in reply to RayannAbbey]

I took Zoloft (same thing) for like 4ish years? I've actually tried many medications under Dr. Supervision. On Fluvoxamine and Metaprolol now after taking Pristiq for over 5 years. Wellbutrin helped once too, so did Seroquel. Was in a mindset of I will never need meds, or I could quit them, but needed "something" . And it's ok too, still getting over the stigma, especially being a man who's depressed/anxious.

Good luck with it, I hope the best!

Thank you did it help you?

[Hidden in reply to RayannAbbey]

It did! Very much, It was the one I was in when I got my diplomas too. They are just really hard to start and really get in your system.

How long did it take to start working x

[Hidden in reply to RayannAbbey]

The side effects really start wearing off around half a month. Fully should be working by a month. Paxil is an alternative if it doesn't work... But I'm no Dr

[RayannAbbey in reply to Hidden]

Too scared to start another tablet as l am so sensitive to meds

[Hidden in reply to RayannAbbey]

Sometimes we need to push through that sensitivity to really get better. You're stronger than you think ❤️‍🩹 you got this.... We both do I hope

[RayannAbbey in reply to Hidden]

Thank you

May I ask why you switched from Wellbutin plus to Pristiq, when anxiety was a problem, and also why from Pristiq to the combination. thanks.

This is not meant to discourage! Lol doing well today.I've just tried 20+ meds, just needed to change due to tolerance and other health issues
