[hickman]

Hi Lilly & Lizzy
Been back to docs today as I have now cut down from 40mg Citalopram to 20mg(5 days now). Doc has told me I can go straight onto Setraline (50mg) starting tomorrow so fingers crossed!

Took my first Setraline today (50mg). Felt really anxious this morning after taking the tablet. Took diazepam not long after as felt like i couldn't breathe. Took another diazepam this afternoon. I hope they are going to work for me, but its the not knowing. So glad to hear you're feeling a lot better this week...on the way up now! Well done! I'll keep you updated. susie

Hi Hickman ~

I took sertraline for 5 days and then stopped because I didn't like the way it made me feel. I think it was just my anxiety symptoms kicking up and I attributed it to the meds.

Anyway ~ I started taking them again today. Although my dosage is starting and 25mg and gradually going up to 50mg.

If you'd like to have a sertraline buddy that is just a day behind you, let me know. We can support each other.

Also, Liz (Lizzyg) and Patty (Patsta) are the best when it comes to support. <3 those girls!!!

Blessings,
Jackie

Hi Jackie
So grateful for your support. I'm on day 3 today of taking Setraline (50mg), my anxiety has gone through the roof. Took 5mg diazepam but that doesnt seem to have helped, think I'm going mad! I know I have to stick with them but dont know how I get through next couple of weeks. I dont want to do anything which is totally out of character for me. Sometimes Im tempted to have glass of wine but I know that isnt the answer. What part of USA are you from. Mr partner (Pete) was born in Brooklyn, New York he still has lots of relatives there. Keep in touch, thanks again for your support. Let me know how you're doing on your meds. Do you take diazepam? Take care, Susie

How you doing today Jackie. I think you're a day behind me, on my 4th day today (not feeling very good - hyperventilation). Hope you are ok, it seems a long wait doesn't it. Still we've had a lot of encouragement from Patty & Liz. Susie
