I have been taking sertraline for 16 days and feel worse, how long should I continue?

Yes I am still taking it really does work eventually. Things calmed down after 4 weeks of taking It, then I went up 100mg, the side effects weren't as bad going up a dose. I would say it was 12 weeks from the start that I really saw the difference.
I found a support group on Facebook called Zoloft it's a closed group so it won't show your friends you are on it. It has helped me so much, just nice to have all my questions answered and support I would advise that for you.

I'm glad thinks are working for you x

How are you getting on now? It does get better x

I've stopped taking it, feeling so much better than i was thankfully but still experiencing some headaches, sweats and bowel pain. Praying it's all out of my system soon

Thanks for replying.
How long did you give it before you switched? Were you able to stop and start a different one straight away?
Everyday I wake up waiting to see if I feel better but I don't even know how it is supposed to make me feel. How are you now on your new ones?

Hey. I was on Zoloft back in 2013. Was on it for about 1 and half. But I'm back on them now. Got diagnosed with cancer back in may. But from what I remember with it. Yes, it takes time for it to work. I felt more like crap before it started making me feel better. I remember getting horrible headache that lasted almost 2 weeks. Then one day I woke up and headaches were gone. But I remember starting to feel better around the 3 weeks mark. Your body and especially the brain needs time to adjust to the meds. Unfortunately it's not magic so just gotta wait it out. Be Strong my friend. U can do this
