It's not easy is it?

[CallieCalm]

Hi All

I have managed to grab a week off work for the sertralline to start working but no luck yet - in fact I feel worse :weep: Had a dreadful day trying to pretend I am fine whilst my heart races or stops and I feel so jittery and unable to concentrate; maybe it's all because it was my first day back at work. Dreading tomorrow - I know that's not the attitude to have as it will make the day bad!! But it is not easy is it?

Dreading going to sleep as I wake at about 03:00 and can't get back to sleep.

I wish you all a good recovery - folks just dont realise how debilitating anxiety is until they have it......

Stay chilled

Callie

Hi Tracey
Wow! you brought tears to my eyes!! (nice tears!)- it is amazing what a few thoughtful words from someone who understands can do. Small steps will be my mantra tomorrow.

Hi Callie :hugs:
I started on Setraline a few weeks ago. Felt so wierd after a few days side effects were not nice, couldn't sleep at night, I felt worse than ever. I decided rather than stop taking them I would halve the dose. I felt so much better and now a few weeks on I am am taking 3/4 of the dose. Hopefully I can increase it to the full dose soon.
Maybe you could try that Callie.
Hope you feel better soon babe.
Take care of you ok x
