    Hi anne, when I first started taking setraline I was the same I lost my appetite but after a few weeks the pains shifted and started eating properly. Hopefully this is the same for u.

      I was on fluxotine before setraline too and lost weight but I felt worse. I am now off of setraline not on anything. They worked great for me but I had to come off them as trying for a baby. Hope they work for you. Good luck x

    Hi Ann  sorry to hear about your breakdown  I have been on Sertraline now for just over 3 months and I did have stomach aches when I first went on them  but they seemed to go without me realising it  I think I became too concerned with other side effects   Anyway everything has settled down now   You will find that all side effects associated with Sert will go  its only been a couple of weeks for you so stick with it if you can    Does the pain go after a time or does it stay with you all day  keep posting you  will find a lot of support on this site and it will help you get through the next few weeks    good luck  and stay strong
