If not feeling better by week 6 why talk to doc about switching med, maybe just need higher dose?

Honestly I was disappointed that I didn’t feel motivated as an effect of the medication but I’m still grateful I feel less anxious

Is it okay to be on an ssri (sertraline) when you are trying to concieve? My doctor said its not an issue unless i get severe sexual side effects.

it's almost been a week since I started 5mg of escitalopram and I've had such bad problems sleeping, I can feel so tired during the day, but at night I'm awake until 2am, my appetite has gone way down with nausea, and I feel so unmotivated, like I know I need to do things but like my body physically can't do it, I know I need to hold on and push through but it's so hard

I felt worse week 6 so had to come off entirely! Doc said I was menopausal so this wasn’t best course of action

Finding Feel Good :
I tried Sertraline and felt on top of the amazing the first couple weeks. Very awake and happy, but could not sleep, was waking up every hour, sleep deprivation then got worse but was worried I was getting mania but loved how it made me feel like I had heaps of energy and motivated. So switched to escitalopram. Been on these a week, don’t feel much yet but I can sleep. Would the sertraline have calmed down if I stayed on it longer or does it sound like that wasn’t a good match for me?
