Does sertraline make you feel sick?
Posted , 7 users are following.
Started on 50mg sertraline yesterday lunch and have felt mildly nauseous since, with 2 strong waves of it through the night. Is this the sertraline? Don't know how I'm going to cope with it if I feel like this on day 2

Sertraline takes a long time to work - as much as 6 weeks to get the full benefit. I felt fine once i had been on them about 4 or 5 weeks. It is worth persevering but do take them with food is my advice.
Good luck
Dave

Good luck and hang on in there as it certainly would appear that it gets worse before it gets better - lol.

Try to stick with it but if it gets too much then see your doctor again, he may be able to help 😃

Hi my name is Sally. I am now on week 4. And feel dreadful. I feel sick with no appetite what so ever. I wake up every am at 3 ish with awful panic , sweating and awful thoughts. I'm at my wits end. I'm only on 25mg too. Does this stop. I feel helpless with worrying. Thanks

Hi there. I tried these for 5 mths. And I never felt so awful. I just came off them. They don't help everyone. They actually made me worse. Sick. No appetite. Not sleeping. Panicky. More anxiety. Tummy cramps. There's just a few. Hope there helping you. Sally

Sorry to hear you had all those side effects Sally,
they are awful.
Iv had a few good days so I'm hoping iv turned a corner.
i spoke to my GPs on Thursday and she said if I'm still getting side effects in another two weeks she would change to another one which I wouldn't have to taper, I'm still on 25mg I don't fancy going on a higher dose because I carnt deal with feeling like I did.
have you gone onto anything else? Or are you coping without? Julie
