My doctor changed me from Seroxat to Sertraline over a month ago because I gradually found myself becoming more and more anxious (been on seroxat for nearly 10 years). I took 50mg for nearly 4 weeks and was still not feeling great so they increased my dose to 100mg 8 days ago.
However I am feeling sooooo anxious now that I am struggling to go outside the house!!! Mornings are awful and I just want to opt out of life completely! I was better 6 weeks ago before I changed my meds and wish I'd never gone to the doctors in the first place.
Is this normal and has anyone else been through this when increasing their dose of meds? I can't even decide if it's worth being on them because I feel so bad. I am sure people will stay stick with it but I need some personal assurances from people who have actually been where I am now to be able to believe things will change.
