Help please, struggling with Sertraline side effects for 8 weeks
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi I'm 59 and currently into the 8th week of Sertraline at 50mg for anxiety and still having quite severe side effects such as high anxiety and a very senstive stomach which is making it hard to eat. I know it's side effects from the medication as the symptoms always start around 2 hours after taking it, I take the sertraline at 6am and do have some good days, on the bad days the side effects tend to ease off later in the day. I've used Sertraline twice in the past and once the side effects wore off I did really well on them but just don't remember the side effects lasting this long. The only difference this time is I'm taking 7.5mg of mirtazapine at night to help with sleep which my GP said should be okay. I'm just hoping to hear from other people that may have had a similar experience to put my mind at ease as I'm worrying myself silly about it which obviously doesn't help.

what brand or generic brand of sertraline are you taking? And have you changed brands/packs or stayed on the exact same brand? i get side effects off my sertraline after 4 months starting them, the side effects are awful and come on after 90 min/2hrs. I'm on Sun Pharma UK ltd Generic, sometimes called Ranbaxy I think.
