I'm on day 12 of sertraline at 100 mg (almost 4 weeks since starting this med for generalized anxiety). My mood is still changing constantly all day long from anxious to slightly depressed but more "relaxed".
I'm probably a bit more stable than last week (mood not changing as fast), but this is still very exhausting and I don't have the energy for much more than the very basic activities: eat, exercice, chores.
I still keep benzo use to a minimal dose each afternoon, but I obviously don't feel they are helping as much as a month ago. I currently take .375 mg of klonopin each afternoon, but cettainly could use more and my prescription allow for up to 1 mg daily. Don't think increasing the benzo is a good idea right now but sure could use the extra dose.
Still hoping for more improvement from tne sertraline, but this is definitively very slow to come...
(sleep is very good with 15 mg of mirtazapine and the occasional boost of zopiclone in the middle of the night).
Overall I would say my situation is more tolerable than a month ago, but barely.
Any shared thought on the whole process would be greatly welcomed!
