Any UK sufferers on setraline got diarrhoea and stuffed up nose. Think it's a bug as been on setraline for 13 weeks now so doubt it will be side effects come back but just like to check ?

      50mg as the cold is replicating some of the side effects I had when I started setraline . Took me 10 weeks for the anxiety to lift and the low mood . Still have an odd bad day here and there x

    Don't know where you are in UK but there's a lot of virus's flying round. I am in Manchester

    I upped from 50 to 75 mg about 10 days ago and I've not been off the loo. Also had a stinking smelly cold..headache and a stiff neck. I think the diarhea is prob side effects for me but im not upping my dose till I feel a bit better.

    I felt dreadful when I upped the dose ..combination of night sweats and frequent visits to the loo ..left me feeling dehydrated and yuck. I would suggest you drink loads of water and take immodium when needed and ride it out. If its side effects they will go and so will a virus..take care

      Another week or 2 and I believe u will start to feel a bit better . Perhaps the dose of a 100mg is taking longer to settle in your body as I'm only on 50mg . X
