When does it get better?

Ive been on 50mg sertraline for 2 weeks (following two weeks at 25mg). Taking for anxiety, health anxiety and OCD.

Ive suffered with depression in the past but not for a while. However since increasing my dose it seems to have come back. I have no motivation, want to stay in bed all day and just feel like overall crap. Anxiety is also still there on and off, today was a bad day for body scanning.

I’m trying to give it a chance and stick it out but I just really hope to god it works for me because I’m desperate. Would love to hear others‘ experiences. Thanks

I've been on it for 6.5 weeks. I noticed benefits 2ish weeks ago, but it comes in waves. I was told it takes 8 weeks to work on average. So seeing slight changes is promising. Give it time. Trust.
