    The dry mouth is normal. And so is the headache. Take some Aspirin, hopefully it will pass. For me, I feel very anxious, no improvement. However I do know that you can't just stop them, or you could get very ill

    Hey Emma

    Go back to see your g.p but my guess is that that is just your body getting use to the sertraline and that it will pass soon.

    Hi Emma, these are all normal side effects. Hang in there. It gets worse before it gets better. Give it 2-4 weeks more. Meanwhile, stay strong but be gentle with yourself and get plenty of rest. Drink more water. XX
