need encouragement
I've been on zoloft for about 8 weeks....
3 weeks starting on 25mg, then 3 weeks 50 mg, and then about 14 days on 75mg.... this past week i've felt super anxious and like I'm not a real person... I don't know if this is just because I increased my dose or anxiety-- does anyone have any thoughts?? will this get better??

Re: need encouragement
Hi Lucy,
sorry to see no one has replied - don't think that no one cares, it's probably no one knew how to reply to you!
I found sertraline to be a slow burner - it took quite some time for it to start working, but when it did start working, it was amazing. I'm about 18 months in now, and really quite good and stable :)
Let us know how you are getting on! x

Re: need encouragement
Hi Lucy I am not on any medications but yes it could be a change of doseage that has made things like they are you perhaps should either give it more time or see your Dr if things don't change :) Please let us know how you get on!

Re: need encouragement
Don't know if Lucy is still checking her thread, and I hope she is feeling better by this stage. I had a very hard time starting up on sertraline. Ten months later and I'm still on it and doing well. It does get better.

Re: need encouragement
Let me just say, I had good and bad days when I first started Sertraline. I was a total wreck this time last year and I'm so glad I stuck it out. I'd say, it took about 6 months for me to feel some sort of relief and I'm at 100mg. Please stick it out, it takes awhile for a lot of people

Re: need encouragement
I haven't been on here for 2 years now. Things have gotten insanely better for me and to be honest, I forgot about my little community here. It's insane to see where I am at now as compared to the past. I am now living on my own, have a pretty decent job, and an ok social life. Depression and anxiety occasionally seep in from time to time but I am become a master of handling it.
I absolutely thank every single person who has read my threads and helped me get through this. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. If you need anything, reach out to me for help and support.
Wishing you all the absolute best :)
