Hi all.

I'm at week 10 or 11 of 50mg Sertraline for Depression/Anxiety. Although I have seen a huge improvement in how I feel & how I am managing to deal with things I am still having a couple of negative side affects.

1 being Crazy vivid dreams,sometimes nightmares, I can remember just about every single detail the next day.i didn't have this before I started taking the medication so I know it's the drug. At 1st I thought 'ok it wills go away' but it hasn't & the dreams are starting to have an affect on how my mood is the next day!! Can anyone relate?

2 being the dreaded sexual side affects.im 27 so I'm still in my 'prime' & obviously sex is something I enjoy,as does everyone! I'm struggling to ejaculate which is becoming an issue,I am fit & healthy & in good shape but it's wearing me out having to keep going for so long trying,which is now starting to become a turn off & I lose interest.this is also having an effect of my mood.

Any advice would be appreciated,I like you all went through the week 1,2 & 3's of hell so it would be nice to be kind of rewarded getting to far.
