25mg Sertraline
Posted , 3 users are following.
I started my medicine last Friday morning. The kind of person I am I’m most likely going to post a lot of questions these first couple of months. I was prescribed 50mg but my doc said to do 25mg the first week then start the whole pill after that. I take it first thing in the morning. I haven’t had a ton of side effects but then again that may be because of the dosage. I’m pretty nervous to start the 50mg. Anyways, this may be a REALLY silly question but if I take the medicine in the morning can I still feel side effects later in the day? Like say the evening time?

Hello Dev...
I suppose it all depends on which side effect really??
But generally more of the annoying ones like to stay around for the day, maybe a few... sorry
I know this doesn’t help, but were all in the same boat so dont please dont feel too discouraged 🌹

I take the medicine in the morning and I’ve noticed that I’ve been having sweaty palms and feet all day, yuck. Not crazy sweaty but definitely noticeable. Today was a crappy day. I had a headache shortly after taking the medicine that went away after Tylenol but then came right back. I haven’t noticed big changes in my sleep, I sometimes wake in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep for a little while. But after reading other discussions on here I feel that I definitely have it easier than others. Not sure if that will change once I start the 50mg, praying that it doesn’t though!

Hello Dev...
Those headaches!! lol I had those daily for quite awhile, wasnt painful, just dull and annoying... but they passed once I got to 3weeks, just be sure to keep yourself hydrated.
If you concerned about the 50mg, you could always do 1 week at 37.5mg then increase to 50mg the week after?? (thats how I did my increases) but it is all down to personal preference, but I would advise to sticking to the same daily time for your doses (mines 10am) and I find that really helps.
Good Luck, your in the best place for support and advice 🌹

Today wasn’t an easy day but I got through it! I hope you are doing better and not dealing with any crappy side effects. Is 37.5mg the highest you will go? If you don’t mind me asking. I am definitely nervous to start the 50mg but I know I need to do it.
