I started 50mg on Tuesday, all I feel is sick. I'm not actually certain how I'm feeling other than that right now. Not as anxious but have only been resting up and chilling in pjs. I was on 60mg a day of fluoxitine, but my mind is all over all the time, I'm up and down and feel sometimes I have no control of my thoughts and actions. I'm not back to work until 11th. I need some order in my life smile If anybody knows or takes or has felt the same experiences or even advice, I would appreciate massively smile

    Hi Adele. I'm just coming off setraline and it's not a nice experience. I had a lot of side affects on sertaline including nausea, weight gain , very tired. They aren't the nicest. But I hope everything works out for you x

    I started seraline last july on 50mg cold turkey from seroxat 10mg this was due to a blip. I asked the dr who was new to me if i could increase seroxat for a while and gradually return tp 10mg seroxat. He immediately took me off seroxat saying that these were worst tablets ever. So the day after i saw the new dr i went straight on to sertraline 50mg gradually increasing to 200mg at the beginning of november. Every increase brings relief for 2/3/4 days then i am back to where i was in the first placw !! I would add that on 10 november i had a radical keyhole hysterctomy. I would like tp know if going cold turkey from one ad to another ad has had any adverse effects on the treatment of sertraline. I have had the most awful side effects. Tight band around my head and generally feeling out of control. Sorry i have gone on and on. A few members on here have had awful side effects but have said stick with sertraline cos it does get better. I really hope it does. I am thinking to ask to return to seroxat but to be honest i cant face another five months of misery of coming off sertraline and going to seroxat

Didn't realise it would take so long to start working. I'm 33 and been on and off tabs since 13. Its hope you both get better. Eeeeeeh its a hard life 😢 xx
