I am 21 and suffered with anxiety for 5 years. I have been on sertraline nearly 4 weeks and I started on 25mg for 5 days then went onto 50mg after 3 weeks. I did not feel any better so I was then put on 100mg. Ihave been on this a few days and I just feel I am getting much worse and my anxiety is through the roof. Is this normal? When will this settle? Will my anxiety ever go?
Sertraline affects after 4 weeks, please advise?

I'm feeling similar to you. 4 weeks in. 3 weeks at 50mg. Upped my dose a week ago to 100mg, first few days were better and my anxiety was passing. Last few days I've been worse and feel really flat. I've been on Sertraline before and I got better so yeah it will settle for us both and our anxiety will go. It's just hard to see when you are in constant anxiety.
