Morning,

does anyone suffer with really bad hunger feelings on sertraline, seems like i need to constantly eat, im only on 50mg, I get really wobbly, shakey, and feel like I'm gonna pass out, which then causes me to have a panic attack,

I'm on asacol, omperzole aswell for ulcerative colitis, so don't know if it's all a mixture of the drugs, causing it, it's really getting on my nerves and i feel like stopping it all,

      I have put on about 20lbs in the last 12 weeks since I started 50mg and went up to 100mg NYE.

      I have now started weight managemet through my GP, he has advised there is a possiblity of weight gain as appetite is increased and I also suffer with being fatigued although that is wearing off.

      My advice would be to carry on and when you feel hungry have a glass of water (this is what I was told)
