Anyone take Sertraline? 50mg did it work for you?

Just wondering if anyone has taken this anti depressant. I'm now on my 6th week and feel no different what so ever.

Other than finding harder to wake up and come to in a morning and sleeping heavier and lack of physical energy.(instead of running at 50mph I down to 30mph)

I understand it can take 4-6 weeks to feel any improvement in ones mood, but expected it working by now.

I've been on Sertraline 200mg for a number of years and it worked. After CBT I decided to start reducing it very very slowly.

I had to temporary stop reducing tt when my dad, mum and sister died. I didn't up the dose again. I just tried to remain on that level until I could cope again to reduce. 7 years later I'm almost down to 25 mg.

It did affect my libido in the beginning but I didn't give up on that side of things and I was ok after a few months.

I have been on 50 mg daily for 20 years. It changed my life as it took away that nagging, obsessive worrying I was prone to.

The main draw backs are sleeping too much and mad dreams, but better than the insomnia I always suffered from.
