Struggling

The Thursday before Easter (2nd April) was my two-week meds review. The sertraline would have been out of my system, but the citalopram wouldn't be at full efficacy.

It certainly felt that way.

The few days before had been increasingly difficult with low moods and feeling tearful. I had to log off from work early on the Wednesday because I couldn't focus and just wanted to cry.

The doctor suggested this was most likely due to the transition ¹ and suggested keeping to the same dose for a further four weeks in the hope that it got to where it needed to be.

She asked if I wanted some time off while I continued to get used to these meds, but with the Easter break meaning I had four days off, I decided not to take her up on it.

The days since the review have been even worse. There have been actual tears, and if things don't improve, I will definitely be going back before the end of the four weeks. Either the dose isn't right, or these pills just don't agree with me.
