it’s been a month since i started taking 50mg (25mg for one week) sertraline for anxiety (and possibly depression), but i haven’t felt or noticed anything different. i don’t have any side effects and i’m not feeling any worse or any better. 

im not sure if this is related to the sertraline, but i’ve been struggling a lot with feeling unmotivated and unable to focus even though i’m taking my dexedrine (for ADHD) which helps with that. i’ve always had problems with motivation as a result of undiagnosed and untreated ADHD causing me to fail everything, but i had been doing alright with the help of dexedrine until recently. what’s worse is that it’s mid semester break soon so everything is all due or being tested at once. 

that’s why i’m worried about not seeing any differences with my sertraline, is it possible that sertraline is actually causing this unmotivatedness? 

(((the main reason for starting sertraline was because i have trouble sleeping when on dexedrine (for ADHD), and my doctor thought my rather bad anxiety may be a cause. there’s no other options where i live except strattera which takes too long to work so i can’t try it for now while i’m in uni. in the meantime i’m taking 25mg quetiapine (antipsychotic) to help sleep.)))
