Sertraline - When will it balance out?

Thank you for your response.

I’m just worried because I’ve never really been a bubbly and outgoing person and always wanted to make lots of friends but I’ve always been socially anxious, after three weeks on the medication I was bubbly happy and talking to everyone and I stopped over analyzing things and stopped caring what everyone thought of me. I finally felt like I could be me.

But this has gone and I’m over thinking everything again and fell self conscious, was this new found confidence, happiness and social me just a placebo ? Or was that actually the medication working ?

I really don’t want to go back to the old me

Keelie,
I know exactly what you mean because I was also the "old me" for a good chunk of my life. Thank goodness for medications and therapy! You'll get there too... it's just a matter of perseverance and a little effort.
Really, try not to worry so much because that's what treatment is for... to stop that constant anxiety.
Look for positive improvements and don't dwell on what you see as negatives and setbacks. If you get yourself through this initial period you'll see what I mean. :)
