Hi all

just to let you all know I went docs and told her how I feel while taking sertraline and she told me to stop taking it and have started me on something else.

      whoops.  maybe it will be ok for you ,but it's a killer for me. I only took 28x 25mg caps over 21 days  and am addicted, having great difficulty withdrawing from it, have you read the leaflet  about side effects,?  side effects and withdrawal are about the same, I am very ill with this medication, cannot see any further than last dose, I would not like anyone else to go through same as me, maybe you will be a lucky one who will not be addicted.  take care, hope you keep on feeling good.

      prgeabalin. someone commented that one size doesn't fit everyone, I have just about every side effect listed plus more that are not, .other people can stop without problems, not me, it has made my life a misery, I am currently down to .80ml very potent drug, made me ill from first capsule,  would like to hear how you get on with it. but....... be aware .
