On day 7 of sertraline had a good couple of days feeling awful today?

Poppy02; It is a good sign that you have had a few good days this can happen, In eighter case, The way this medication works is when most people first start it you could have some kinds of help but for week 1 thru 2 in most cases many people even have an increase in your symptoms that this medication is to help. and then you continue to take this medication every day about the same time and slowly you start to feel better from any side effects and start to get some relief. But to reach the full benefits of the medication you really won't know for sure until you get to week 6 to 8 which depending on the person that is how long it takes to reach the full blood level of the medication. These are very confusing because some people have no side effects at all and other have at least 3 or so for the first 2 weeks. and gradually get better but we are all different, And some doctors may increase your dose after you have been on it depending on what dose you started on this way if the up it from a lower dose to higher dose the side effects are not nearly as bad doing it that way. Hope that we'll help you out. And also there is like anything the chance the doctor may have to add something with this medication or change it all together but it takes a while to decide if you are going to get the results you need from this one, But because you are feeling a bit of a change now hopefully this well be the one that you well get some results from. Have a good evening.

At day 7 it hasn't had time to reach steady levels in blood stream. That takes 2 weeks when you usually feel a difference. But you should keep having continued improvement. By 6 weeks probably feel a big difference. And 3 months for maximum results.
