Hello everyone,

I have been suffering from depression for past 2 months. I have lost my appetite and lost over a stone. I have never felt like this and didn't know what to do. I've finally been given Sertraline and I am on day 6. I have bad anxiety and restlessness from the point of waking up in the morning. Does anyone experience this with Sertraline? How does everyone cope with loss of appetite and how do they make themselves eat?

    side effects vary from person to person, i m o week 7 on an increased dosage, im a big believer that the meds do the job relieve awful symptoms i felt , but it does take time.

    Yes i lost weight off food eat as little an often as possible, i had a ryvita =fibre, butter,

    a piece of fruit .

    Keep updating your gp , as the dosage is important Personally Setraline saved me , i couldnt carry on without them , but it will take time.

    Some people cant cope with side effects me they always work in the end , you must talk to your gp, or psychiatrist.
