It's now been 5 weeks of sertraline at 100 mg.
I started feeling improvement in my mood at the 4 weeks mark. Very very gradual but undisputable, everything is slightly easier to do, a bit more interresting, less distressing. But I often do feel tired/unmotivated/lazy.
Still off work and anxious most of the day, still having physical symptoms, but it is less strong, and it comes and goes during the day instead of being non-stop.
Also feeling the side-effects of the meds, most notably a stronger/faster/annoying heart pulse, clenched jaw and night sweats.
Still weaning clonazepam, .375 to .25 to .17 mg daily now, with a cut every 2 weeks.
Not needed zopiclone during the night for the last 7 days, after 6 weeks of nightly use (3.75 mg)
Next week I'm seeing my doc, and we'll decide if the sert dose should be increased.
What could be the deciding factor to let the current dose do its work?, or try to get a better effect with 125 mg ??
May 2016 be a good one for everyone!
