Started antidepressants - week 2 update

M

1d ago1 min read

So my doc put me on sertraline two weeks ago after I finally admitted I've been depressed for probably 2 years. I kept thinking I could just push through it like I always do but my wife basically forced me to go. Honestly not feeling much different yet but I'm not worse which I guess is something. The first few days I felt nauseous and tired but that's passing. Just wanted to post this so future me remembers I actually started treatment. Hoping in a month or two things improve.

Been there and I know how hard that admission is. You're making the right call staying with it. Two years is a long time to carry that alone.

Proud of you for pushing through and getting on something to help. The first couple weeks are rough but it gets better. How are you feeling otherwise?

That takes real courage to finally ask for help, man. Two weeks in is still early but you're doing the hardest part by actually taking it. Stick with it and give those meds time to work.
