Hi everyone! This is my first time posting.
I have found reading this forum to be so helpful so thank you all!
I have suffered from anxiety and depression for about 20 years on and off.
I have been on Sertraline for about 4.5 years - I have been on 50mg for a while and recently started to feel unwell again, so 3 days ago the GP upped my dose to 100mg.
I was wondering how long it will take to feel better?
When I felt unwell in 2011, I was prescribed paroxetine/fluoxetine? Which made me feel awful, so the GP switched me to Sertraline.
I think I started on 100mg (it was a while ago I can't remember)
I felt ok again after about 5 weeks, and have been pretty much ok since then.
For the past few weeks I have felt worse, almost back to where I started (but not quite as bad)
Has anyone else had a similar experience? Will it get better?
I haven't had any counselling, but would like to try CBT.
Thanks in advance!
