I am the very same !!!I want to come off the sertraline.
I don’t know if it’s making me feel more miserable tbh.
I ache all over everyday, I sweat a lot, I feel cold, my bones ache, I have zero energy to do even the most basic of things, I have a short fuse & get very frustrated over the most silliest of things.
I never used to be like this before. I thought maybe it was the flu but this has gone on a few weeks now.
I just want to feel happy & content
Speak to your doctor. It could be that Sertraline isn’t the one for you and there could be an alternative if needed.I want to come off the sertraline.

I completely agree with you. Unfortunately I think anti depressants all come with their own side effects but if they are taking over your life it’s just not worth it. You’ll need to taper off, wash out and then start a new medication.Speak to your doctor. It could be that Sertraline isn’t the one for you and there could be an alternative if needed.
I started them beginning of February following a mental breakdown. I don’t know if it was a placebo effect but the first week or two was hideous but after I seemed to pick up massively and felt happy that I’ve finally found something that will help. Now I’ve crashed again, struggling with pretty much everything, I have a 2 year old who is on the go constantly and I’m finding that really tough.I completely agree with you.

How far into taking them are you? I personally would not make any decisions until you are + 2/3 months into them x
So sorry to read this, What dosage are you on?I started them beginning of February following a mental breakdown.

The exact thing happened to me. I crashed hard after about 4 weeks of being on it and was upped to 100mg which has made a massive difference. I can’t lie and say I don’t have side effects but honestly the mental improvement outweighs those.I started them beginning of February following a mental breakdown.

I take mine at 7pm with my evening meal. I find it works well for me.Does anyone take their dose at night? I’m thinking of switching to night to combat the tiredness I have been feeling from it. I also think it’s starting to interact with the amount of coffee I consume!
I get the most horrific insomnia if I take it at night which is a shame as I get tired too! So I have to stick with morning doses as the main reason I went on it was cos my anxiety kept me awake at nightDoes anyone take their dose at night?

How long have you been on it now? I used to get like this for the first few months before my body acclimatised to it. Now I can drink alcohol and coffee and usually be okay! I do find that I get more anxious when I take it on an empty stomach though, I get kinda jittery!I wonder if it could be down to me taking it on an empty stomach. I take it at about 6am on an empty stomach and then after I’m drinking 3 cups of coffee and then have lunch.
I feel absolutely catatonic today. So so so tired with a weird anxiety and a bit agitated. I was absolutely fine on it until the weekend when I drank too much and it absolutely floored me!!!
I changed from taking it at night to taking it first thing in the morning with breakfast. I used to be very tired otherwiseDoes anyone take their dose at night?

2 months today, went up from 50mg to 100mg after the first month!How long have you been on it now? I used to get like this for the first few months before my body acclimatised to it.

I take mine at 9pm and it’s been better for me.Does anyone take their dose at night? I’m thinking of switching to night to combat the tiredness I have been feeling from it. I also think it’s starting to interact with the amount of coffee I consume!
Mentally, after my dose was upped at around week 3.At what point did you all start to feel better and when did you realise?
Did you struggle with the tiredness too?xI take mine at 9pm and it’s been better for me.
Started taking it at 7am but it made me feel so nauseous!
Hope you’re ok!
