Finding it hard to keep the faith

[joy]

I am fast approaching my 4th week on sertraline and apart from the odd good day nothing seems to be happening. I still feel awfully anxious and shaky. At present on 100mg. I have spent two years on various meds waiting for them to work and they havent so Sertraline was almost my final chance. Do you think theres just a chance they may start to work or shall I give up hope now before I see the shrink tomorrow

Hi Joy

Stick With It, I Am On Citalopram ,Only On Day 8 But Starting To Feel Better, Until To Day Period Come, But That Another Story.
My Freind Was Taking Citalopram 3 Week But Didnt Work For Her Just Sleepy All Time, So She Went Back To Doctors And He But HeR On Sertraline 50mg (i Think) And A Week Later Said She Felt Brill, It Can Take About 4 Weeks To Kick In And She Thinks The 3 Weeks On Citalopram Must Of Help To. She Seems Good Has Her Bad Days But Most Good, But I Dont Think Thats Meds, ThatS Just Live, CanT Be Happy Every Day Can We!!

Just seen the shrink and he said if things havent improved in another 4 weeks, making it 8 weeks in total he will increase the dose
