Contrary to my last post, still on 25mg. Not inclined to bump up anymore. I mean I am because I fear that 25mg isn't enough. But I'm not because if I can find enough relief at a smaller dosage, I'm all for it.
One of the times I took Sertraline, I started out right at 50mg. Not good. Felt like crap, falling asleep at my desk at work. Insomnia. Felt wired, but tired at the same time. Possible?
At 25mg I don't feel that. I feel pretty normal. Slightly less "wheel turning" going on in my head. Still able to feel emotions. Still able to function. But I do have to say the first week was actually better than this second one. I don't know why. Possibly that means I need to bump up, but possibly it means that I need to just hang in and give it more time.
I'd like to move away from the Clonazepam and see how it is for me after doing that. I feel kind of spacey after taking it for a while now. So I might touch base with my doctor and see what his thoughts are.
I'm starting to worry about weight-gain and inability to lose weight. My hope was that the Sertraline would take the edge off of my emotions so that I wasn't emotional eating so much. My fear (from what I've read) is that it will decrease my metabolism to that of a slug and not matter what I do I won't be able to lose weight.
But that's a worry I don't need to worry about right now, right? So I'll try not to.
