I think art stuff maybe
Hi everyone, this is my first post here on HealthUnlocked. A month ago, I started taking Sertraline 50mg for anxiety and insomnia. I knew there could be tough times at the beginning, but I've been having some really bad side effects-mainly increased anxiety and more trouble sleeping. I've read a lot about Sertraline on this forum and it's given me some hope that things might get bettr as time goes by.
Today my doctor upped my dose to 75mg with plans to eventually go to 100mg, and they also prescribed Melatonin for my insomnia which I'll be starting soon. If anyone has had psitive experiences with Sertraline or can share how long it usually takes to start working, that would be really helpful and appreciated. Thanks!

I didn't really vibe with sertaline myself, but i mean, other people seem to have had good experiences with it-i saw some positive stuff online, anywy.
I've been on sertraline for two years. My anxiety was worse initially, which almost made me stop taking it. But after abt three months, the medication started making a significant difference. Everyone around me has noticed my improvement in mental well-being. Of course, I have other health issues as well, but sticking with the treatment has been worthwhile.
I am very grateful.Thank you.
started on 100mg but fellt wtf worse. thne doc bumped it to 150 ngl it was like a miracle. gotta b patient while they tweak ur dose for that sweet spot. idk tho, doesn't work for everyone so u might need to switch meds after trying. sertraline was my 3rd one
Thanks, figured out it'll take time to adjust the dose. Appreciate the reassurance
Of course! Glad to help anytime
