It seems im on a complete roller coaster with the sertraline!
Saturday I had a really bad day with the anxiety, however, my mood was OK. Sunday, I had no anxiety but felt low in my mood. Yesterday, I felt really good, on top of the world, positive etc etc. Today, I’ve woken up anxious and feeling very quite down.
I’m not sure how long I give the sertraline. I’m on week 7 now. I went from 50mg to 100mg now I’m taking 125mg – I’ve been on this dose for 2 weeks.
I’ve lost weight in the past 2 weeks too and feel like have to really false myself to eat to ensure I don’t lose any more weight. (although I did want to lose a few pounds, but hate losing it through anxiety).
It’s very frustrating, I don’t seem to get 2 consecutive good days. One day I’m really up, then bang, I’m feeling as if I’m getting nowhere..........
I’ve got an appointment with my doctor on Friday, although he’s pretty ancient and rubbish!
I don’t know how long I should give it. Surely by the 7th week I should be really more stable than not?
Any advice would be appreciated!
