Sertraline, beginning to help?

[Ccat]

Hi J

That is so good to hear. It does you so much good to get out the house.

I had a friend round yesterday who i hadn't seen for months. It was nice- and i thanked her for being patient with me- as we were meant to meet in the summer and i just couldn't as i couldn't cope.

Sending you a hug. I am so pleased this medication suits you .

love, Cat xxx

Hi Cat,

Glad to hear you had your friend round, I'm sure she understood why you couldn't see her until you felt better. I used to make arrangements, then couldn't cope and would have to back out, so can relate to that.

My very best wishes to you, hope you are feeling better too.

Love J xxx

Hi Everyone,

Just to say that I have now stopped taking Sertraline after tapering down over a number of weeks on the Consultant's instruction. I think it is a very good medication and it helped me to sleep, but unfortunately didn't really help at all for the anxiety and depression. I am now taking a combo of Trimipramine and Pregabalin and this is working very well for me. I shall now post on the Pregabalin thread and would be happy to share my experiences with anyone struggling. This site helped me so much and the people who post on it are so caring and helpful, so thank you for your replies, it meant so much to me.

My very best wishes.

Hiya again J

I am so pleased that combination is working for you.

I am ok - ish- thanks but i seem very tired all the time though ( even when i've slept well) and get a lot of tingling in hands and feet- but i have found out i have a vitamin d deficiency- so this might have caused some problems.

Hope you still "pop in" to this forum even though you aren't on sert anymore.

love and to you

Hi Cat,

Sorry to hear you are feeling so tired, perhaps now it has been discovered you are deficient in vitamin D you can be given a supplement to help you with this (or perhaps a sunny holiday, isn't the sun good for vitamin D?). I will have to content myself with a sit in the back garden, weather permitting, it has been pants here lately, very wet and we had a thunder storm last night.

Hi Andy, hope you are feeling better after your blip, thanks for your messages.

Hope the Sertraline is working out for you both. Best wishes.
