Hello, has anyone else developed chapped lips whilst taking Sertraline?

I’ve developed chronic chapped lips. I’ve been taking 25 then to 50 ml S for over 6 weeks. Thanks S mates, - x kat

It’s just a sign of dehydration. I was getting dryer lips when I was taking it. Just need to drink loads and loads of water. Xx

  Been off sertraline for about a week and feeling a lot better. I notice my brain maybe becoming more negative again but I am keeping my days busy to try and delay that. I start counselling in 2 weeks which I’m hoping will give me the tools I need. How are you? Xx

Im on week 3 now and I've had dry lips from the start, hoping this will clear up as I become used to the meds.
