    Sertraline 50mg was given to me for depression and anxiety but I found that it only helped with my depression, so I just got Burspirone 10mg to take along with it to see if that helps with my anxiety.

    Hopefully it works for you! But don't lose hope, it usually takes a few times to find what works best for you!

    Good luck

    Hello,
    I'm doing ok,thanks! Still getting headaches myself they usually hit me in the evening around 6pm..wondering if my 50mg is working yet..Its too early to tell I think..Its only been 6 days..Get slight nausea too still..Just need to give it time..The real beneficial effects can take up to 6 weeks and also they say that taking it for 6months is when its properly in your system and you will be at your best..There are so many different views on it, and it depends on the individual..
    We don't have snow in Cornwall! I wish we did as i'm really bored..Don't have a job out here..Some snow would make it beautiful!

    I've been on 50mg for 2 weeks & then had it increased to 100mg a few days ago.
    I'm not feeling any different at the moment, but I also get headaches towards the end of the day.

    Just give it another 2-3 weeks..It does require patience and it does get better..I will be seeing the doctor at the end of this week too to let him know how i'm doing..Th headaches make sense as its a medication that helps your brain..;-)

    What sort of side effects do people get on this medication? I'm on my 3rd week & not feeling any better, but I've been getting headaches more than usual & dry mouth.
    I'm few up of feeling awful on a daily basis & having to leave work because I can't cope.
    I miss having normal days.

    Just read top post, 100mg of sertraline. Give that a month and see if you feel any better. If not you might have to try something different. I'm on 200mg of sertraline, so I know from experience. it took a couple months actually for me to start feeling better.
