Day Two of Sertraline
Posted , 5 users are following.
I have been taking Mirtazapine for a month now but I found the side effects to be too severe to manage (tiredness and appetite increase). I recently went to the doctors and he has prescribed me 50mg of sertraline. Yesterday I felt absolutely fine after taking my first tablet, Today, however, I am really struggling with nausea. Is this normal/related? It is throwing me because I didn't experience any side effects yesterday. I am struggling to even think about food but at the same time feeling hungry.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was taking Sertraline at the start of October last year. Started on 25mg for 10 days then increased the dose to 50mg. Like you, after taking the first couple of tablets I felt fine but by day 3 I got an upset stomach including nausea. I was actually sick on a few occasions but found if I had a small amount of food before taking the tablet then the nausea wasn't so severe. I would usually take my tablet around 11am. The side effects were slightly more prevalent when increasing the dose to 50mg but they do subside after 8 weeks or so. I was only taking Sertraline for a period of 3 months and decided to deal with my symptoms of anxiety and depression by choosing the holistic approach. Everyone is different so I suggest you stick with it for now and consult your GP if your symptoms worsen. I wish you the best of luck in with your recovery, you will get there and your not alone. Best wishes x

Yes this is normal, I think everyone seems to react differently but I had nausea, headaches and dizziness. I am taking 100 mg of Sertraline.
Hope this reassures you.
