Hi new here, been suffering along time with anxiety and intrusive thoughts to the point where I’m sometimes scared to be alone, was on 10mg citalopram For 4 years and was doing great until lockdown Went to the docs they decided to switch my meds to sertraline and just swapping straight over. I started sert 15 days ago 50mg, the side effects were awful as many know but after 2 weeks I am starting to feel more myself not completely but a little, started to eat a bit more sleep is still only 6 hours I’d love a lay in. My doctor has suggested that I up to 75mg as the thoughts were still there not as plaguing but still there I took my first 75 yesterday felt really tired and had headache most of the day, I just don’t know whether to carry on taking the 75 or just stick on 50 as I am improving slightly, if anyone can give me insight on wat to do I’m stuck in a single parent of 2 children have lots of support from family and friends.

Please any info would be appreciated
Thanks Becky
