Chest pain after dosage increase

thank you so much for responding, how long have you been on it if you dont mind me asking

literally, my anxiety is at its worst, i get the shakes and dizzness aswel, my appetite seems to have increased which is the only good side effect ive had as i had lost of lot of weight, ive honestly been so close to just stop taking it, but im choosing to have hope as hard as it is, but i hope things improve for you soon!

we have more or less the same side effects. im getting shakes and dizziness too but my appetite has been gone lately, keep going though, you can get through it. hopefully it will ease for us both soon

how you getting on? my chest pain seems to be going no where, ismonia is now a thing aswel for me, just feeling no improvement atm:(

i actually went to the doctor today about my chest pain. she did checks and listened to my heart and lungs and said they both sounded fine. she said its down to the anxiety but that didnt stop me worrying so she booked me in for an ecg next week mainly to put my mind at rest. i also told her i couldnt handle these side effects so shes given me a prescription to try fluoxetine. i havent tried it yet but im stopping the sertraline. its definately not for me. the past few days ive had horrible stomach pain that seems to come late afternoon everyday, i cant eat because of it. what do your chest pains feel like?

im glad that she said everything sounds fine! keep me updated on how you get on with the fluoxetine, my chest pains are like contractions, they come and go, but there like a sharp stabbing pain, they were really bad yesterday, i had them all day, ive woken up today and they seem to have gone, i just hope they stay gone!

mine seem to have settled down now as well so hopefully theyll stay away for us both! mine were like stabbing pains as well so does sound more anxiety related even though theyre worrying. i havent been able to get my fluoxetine yet because the chemist is having trouble with deliveries! so as of yesterday im on nothing. but im still getting the dizziness, its annoying. how are your other symptoms?

honestly, i havent had any more chest pain since so i hope im through it, i still get very dizzy and i have like hot flushes aswell, im still very anxious too, im just trying to give it time but its very bloody hard! i really hope the fluoxetine works for you when you finally manage to get it!

fair play to you for sticking at it. i couldnt handle it. but its weird because ive been on sertraline on and off for a few years and ive been on 100mg with no side effects, this time it really hit me for 6! im on my 3rd day of not taking it and still feeling the effects but hopefully it will leave my system soon.

i find it baffling how ill and horrible they can make you feel! & how are you feeling now any better?

day 5 of coming off them now and i do feel a bit better, still got a bit of dizziness but apparently that can last up to a week or 2 after coming off so ill see how it goes. how are you getting on?

good to hear you starting to feel better! &im starting to feel alot better myself, i havent had any more chest pains, just hot flushes still atm but there not as bad as they was, i can feel my mood lifting again tho still very anxious, i just keep telling myself its still early days:)

aww thats good to hear, it looks like its starting to work for you. things can only get better from here on 😃

i really hope the fluoxetine works better for you!:)
