Re: Changed from Cit to Sertraline
Thank you so much for replying. Sounds like you've had a horrible horrible time of it. I've been like this since October and was on citrolpram before this.
I was wondering whether going up from 50 mg to 100 mg has side effects especially day 3 of it? So frustrating got no go in me. I sometimes think I need to get back to an office job, I'm a childminder for before and after school and normall love it. but I don't want go back to office work as want to be with my kiddies and I hve the opportunity. So difficult. Is it ME!
Got this blooming cold and so has my son and no energy only been a week of cold doesn't help. Does that make sertaline not work?
I don't know much about it.

Re: Changed from Cit to Sertraline
Hi Jo,
I've just upped mine to 100mg, I had 3 good days and now I just feel sick all of the time. I think I've had just about every side effect! I heard that Sertraline is quite a slow one to act, they effect people in different ways.
I've read posts on here were one or two have had no side effects.
What keeps me going is the relief I'll feel when they do kick in.
try and stick with them

Re: Changed from Cit to Sertraline
Hi Joan
I'm sorry to say, i've not really having much improvement with Sertraline. I'm losing weight, anxiety is high. I'm worrying out my mind about my job. I am off to the doctors later today as i think i should be feeling a little calm by now.
I seem to have the odd really good day, then bang, like you, hit rock bottom again.
I just want to feel happy, at ease etc. But I don't and its frustrating.
I was 2 weeks on 50mg, 2 weeks on 100mg now i'm only 125mg.
I'll have to see what the doc says but to be honest, he's not really that good. He'd throw anything at me!!
Re: Changed from Cit to Sertraline
oh my that's not good gutted for you. keep me informed x
Re: Changed from Cit to Sertraline
how's everyone feeling. been two weeks on 100mg and still feel.rubbish. x
Re: Changed from Cit to Sertraline
God, still so up and down. I've reduced mine to 100mg as 125mg too much.
I felt awful this morning, this arvo, feeling much better. A lot clearer and head not as fuzzy, not as anxious but then agian, tomorrow morning could be another story.
I am giving it 2 more weeks max, then i give up on the sertraline. Its nearly 8 weeks for me.
they say at least give it 4 weeks on the same dose before making a decision
