    My daughter has just started on these at 50mg and so far been ok. She says the only thing she is getting is constant yawning! She says it is more of an inconvenience than anything else. I do have them but as yet not started them due to another medication I am on.

    How are you doing? Are you having any side effects?

    Were the prescribed for depression/anxiety or anger management?

    I would love to say I'm doing great but it's been so long! I have been on 100mg zoloft for 6 weeks and although I'm having some good days I'm nowhere near where I want to be. I am treating treated for anxiety with depression after a nasty virus, just pray thang I'm better soon! Hang in there, it's only been 4 days for you, it can take up to as long as 8 weeks to feel any improvement, be patient, I'm trying to be!

    I recently came off Citralopram 50 mg, because they made me feel so awful. Shaky, sweaty, not in control, but not nauseous. To be fair, I only took them for 12 days and I know it takes much longer for them to 'kick in', but I wasn't prepared to put up with it. I am now on day 2 of Sertraline 50 mg, but already feeling dreadful - very tired, headache, nauseous, hot and shaky. How long did it take for anybody to stop feeling like this, or didn't you? At this rate, I'll be stopping these after 12 days too.

    11 years for me. (150mg) Don't think (other than my painkillers) I could possibly appreciate a little white pill so very much!

    Hi, nearly 5 weeks for me on 50mg of Sertraline. I had about 8 days of nausea and dizziness, dry mouth and foggy brain. I couldn't go to sleep at all so started on Zoplicone, I am now just starting to sleep without Zoplicone however the fatigue is terrible I have been like this for 7 months now. Within an hour my anxiety did go away and I am not so focused on worrying about different things. Having a bath leaves me exhausted and I can only do about an hour of activity once a day. I am still hoping this improves but I am aware I may have CFS. Stick with it if you can tolerate them, if not try something else as everyone is affected differently. Take care x
