I've been on sertraline 3 months now and I'm actually, finally, starting to notice a difference. My head feels clearer, I'm not as tearful as I was and just generally feeling better. The thing I worry about now is that I have a MH assessment on the 10th Nov (they messed up the one I was supposed to have last week) and if I tell them how I think I'm seeing improvement in my mood now with the sertraline increase....I wouldn't want them to write me off as "being ok now" I still believe I need help to deal with past issues.
