5 weeks

TW: Discussions of depression and suicidal ideation

So I started Zoloft/Sertraline (I’ll be calling it Sertraline in this post) about 5 weeks ago on a dose of 50mg. I’ve been consistent about taking it on time and everyday (apart from one day when I took it late). I dealt with the symptoms of the first two weeks well (teeth-chattering, jaw lock, anxiousness, drowsiness etc) however, I did feel a decent amount better in general. Problem is, from mid last week to this week, I’ve been majorly depressed to the extent of suicidal ideation and haven’t been able to do much at all. I’m going to speak to my psychiatrist soon but I just wanted a general opinion on this all. I’ve had to miss work too because I just couldn’t get anything done. Is this normal?
