Struggling with Depression and Anxiety: Need Advice on Medication

I beg if you, try easing off the sertraline (of course you have to do this very slowly and the side effects are horrendous). A side effect of sertraline is depression it's also highly likely to be why you are so tired you cannot function, its a barbaric drug that is only ever supposed to be used short term alongside talking therapy. Best thing I've found for anxiety is a strong and understanding support system and meditation. And if you cannot face a job interview atm, that's totally OK. It really, really is. Don't push yourself before you are ready. Your journey is your own xxx

I was on sertraline for ages, kept upping the dose it didn’t work for me so I switched to fluoxetine and that’s helped me more

I'm bipolar II, and I'm on antipsychotics Rexulti and Pristiq and antidepressant Trazodone daily, with Hydroxyzine as needed for anxiety. I've only been on this regimen for about eight weeks, and it took around five weeks to really start feeling a difference, but it seems to be a good combination so far.

I'm on Sertraline too. I was given Propranolol to help with anxiety

Try and speak with your GP (I’m in the UK) and see if you can try something new.

I have tried almost all of them and wellbutrin brand name is the one that works best for me with no bad side effects..actual helps loose weight and uncreased linido

Sertraline is working well for me but I sometimes also use CBD products to help as well. It sounds like you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself. I often find the workplace overwhelming but found private tutoring suited me much better. It gave me more flexibility and I was free of managers and quarterly reviews. Hope things brighten up for you soon.

Hello! I was on Sertraline for two years, and kept upping the dose, switched to Duloxetine, and same story. Neither worked that well for me. I HIGHLY recommend speaking to a psychiatrist as mine gave me Vraylar and I am Finally living my best life!! Motivation is back, apathy is almost gone. I have depression and anxiety - Vraylar is a mood stabilizer. Keep asking questions, and keep fighting for yourself!! You got this!!

The best thing I did was join a gym, it helped me so much for 5 years till I got sciatica on top of pcos depression and anxiety so I feel your battle. All we can do is keep going. Work will help, well is did for me when I'm working my day isbetter even though I drop when I get home. I think it helps with sleeping better an when u sleep well it helps.

I am on sertaline but I was on citalapham that medicine did not help me at all
