Anyone who is on sertraline, did you notice a huge increase in anxiety and increased heart rate? I feel like I’ve been way worse, quicker heart rate and panic attacks. I’m on day 7 of 25mg. I also feel light headed and dizzy often. I take it at 9:30pm every night.

Anybody else felt the benefits from the first dose. Everyone says it takes 4-6 weeks, but it’s my second day and so far I kid you not it’s a bit similar to l-theanine but stronger. It’s like my internal narrator’s head is covered by a pillow and I’m mild-moderately numb not that it’s bad. My processing capability is also down, music feels less textured, make more mistakes when speaking, or typing without noticing. Just wondering if this is normal. Sleeping is also a nightmare, right at the border of falling asleep I get a sudden jolt in my chest or jump at the slightest sound. Not that it’s never happened before it’s just that it never occurred at this intensity and frequency. Overall, ironically I feel both anxious and calm when outside. My only concern is my mental capabilities, I feel slow and dumb. PS. I have severe anxiety and a mild depression and I’m on 25 mg for the first 4 days, after which I’ll start with 50 mg per the psychiatrists orders.
