Hi Jamesh77 I am sorry you are still feeling so unwell. It does take up 6 weeks for the meds to get properly into your system so give it another few weeks and see how you feel. If after that time you still feel as though it's not helping then go back to your doctor as you might need to up them or to try a different ad. There are lots available and I had to try 2 others before I found mine.

Are you on the referral list for counselling? If not then I would ask for some though it can be quite a long wait. Take care. x

Ive been on the meds nearly 3 months I just feel awful daily I have had counselling didn't t really benefit kind of made to feel as just do this n that you'll be fine :(

I get that too. I've been through some bad stuff and it surfaces alot. I try to combat it with positive things. This can b really difficult. Tell yourself you are a good person and you deserve calming thoughts. You deserve quiet from the negative. You deserve to feel happy and at peace. I hope this helps and take real good care.

If you think that things have got worse for you since your dose of sertraline was increased I wouldn't be sticking with it for a few more weeks, I'd go back to the doctor straight away and tell him or her. What do you mean by intrusive thoughts about sexual harm? Have you tried listening to any of the guided meditation tracks on YouTube? They can be really good for helping you to relax at times when intrusive thoughts are getting too much for you. You might need to try a few before you find one that you like.
