How do you feel before you take sertraline and after you take it? It's fine now. I took an anti allergy (Loratadine) and it's got right. Thanks for your prompt response. I'm taking Sertraline 50 mg only. The previous months sometimes waves got so difficult that I felt desperate and took something like Nuberol Forte or Naproxen. Now it's better so I don't need to. I'm in the windows and waves. I hope it's soon that I get 100%. It's really been very difficult. I just want to feel normal & be myself again. I have been a zombie too long.

Peking2 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hey. I'm much better now. My symptoms are considerably better. I think little time is left to full recovery. Now I'm more able to think properly and clearly. Earlier my thinking was disproportionate and unreal. This means now I'm more able to understand my own problems. Earlier I just couldn't. I've now realized the blood flow to my brain is hampered. I have a constant tingling of blood vessels in my legs. And certain parts of my head hurt. Closing my eyes I can feel dizzy and as if I'll faint. Thankfully I have now joined university. My mood and concentration are much better I can actually live fairly normal.

Peking2 Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 @Altostrata Hello I wanted to say after so many months I’ve gotten significantly better. The waves are less brutal and I’m sane and functioning in my daily life. I don’t lose self control anymore and I can handle stress but not if gets alot. Still my focus and attention are not absolutely normal. But they get me through everything. I’m moving towards normalcy. I have raised my dose to Sertraline 100 mg in the last month and It has helped me alot and quickened the recovery. i want to thank you @Altostrata and this forum’s creators since without assistance from here my life would have been far worse. I now know for 6 years I was only dependent in the meds and constantly in the windows and waves. While psychiatrists were treating me for something else entirely. I suffered and cried a lot. But finally I’m moving with my life. I’m grateful to this forum and @Altostrata for passing a really severe crisis of my life successfully.

Administrator Altostrata Posted March 15, 2020 Administrator Share Posted March 15, 2020 Good to hear, Peking. You may wish to stabilize for some months before tapering sertraline. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.
