I feel they are working for me- had a slight nausea for the first day, have a slight tremor- been on Sertraline for just over three weeks now. They have actually got rid of my double vision which I have had for thirty years- so that's a plus. They take a few weeks to begin to work I think,but so far I have had no major side effects.
Hopefully over the weeks things will get better

i have been on sertraline for about 2 and a half months now and for the first 3 week since they react with your transmitters in your brain it does make you feel abit dizzy sick etc, and you think you have the side affects on the list however most the time its people anxiety as i thought i had these like rashes etc and nothing ever came of it and was just anxiety playing tricks.
however i must say now tho what a difference not one anxiety attack since they started, sometimes get a wee feeling that they will happen however it doesnt, ad it wont go away over night sadly but a great difference and thats still with the 50mg. but caffiene is a bit of a no-no with them as it makes you twitch a fair amount, and only one thing i noticed with them is that they give you a bit of heart burn, but a bit of gaviscon helps that, but DO NOT take gaviscon within two hours of it as it doesnt react well.

Yes I was drinking too much caffeine and I was really twitchy yesterday and had some heart palpitations- so have cut right back
Apart from this I do not seem to have many side affects- touch wood
Hopefully the anxiety will reduce as time goes on
