Thanks suzi , that does sound similar to me . My whole mindset changes in the summer. I become very negative and loose self confidence. I notice in spring I will feel uneasy and everything seems surreal. This is usually the start of it .
I do wonder if pollen is having an impact on my moods .
I am really hoping this increase in sertraline will help .
I am actually feeling a bit more relaxed this evening.

Hope the increase helps lovely...

Hi , I just wanted to update , it has now been 3 weeks since I increased to 150mg . The anxiety seems to be easing apart from first thing in the morning, then as the day goes on it gets better , I am almost feeling like I can turn negative thoughts into more positive thoughts which is a start I suppose. I feel a bit like in a bubble and feel hopeful I will start to feel human again soon . Hope you are all well , and I really appreciate your support. Thank you :)

Me again , I have had a bad day today, had some vivid nightmares in my sleep last night and all day today feel very low and depressed.
Although the anxiety has improved. I have heard the anxiety gets better before the depression with sertaline . It is now almost 4 weeks since I increased to 150mg . As I have been on 100mg for 20years I have forgotten what it’s like to increase the dosage . I can’t see light at the end of the tunnel just yet . I hope this is just a blip ? I am really hoping this increase will work for me .

There is light, hunni, but it’s not a straight line to it. The fact it’s helping the anxiety is a positive sign. Hang on in there (panda)

Hang in there. It can take just as long for an increase to take effect as it can for a drug to take effect in the first place. Try and be patient. You are doing amazingly.

Hang on in there hun.. If you're still struggling, then try to see your Dr on Monday...
