    It seems to be normal Julie but be assured it will pass - in the meanwhile have you tried using travel sickness wrist bands to help with it, or nibbling on ginger biscuits might help - it's annoying but I'm sure it will pass.   I was on Sert then came off it, I had nauseous symptoms, went back on it a couple of weeks ago and the nausea started . . . no idea why but it is easing now and the travel bands do help.   Hope you feel better soon.

      Thank you for the reply Susan.

      And the advice

      I will try the wristband. And I love ginger.

      It's like having constant morning sickness.

      I'm 56 So that's a no no.

      I'm glad yours has subsided.hopefully mine will too.

      Take care x

      I hope it will, it's an awful feeling isn't it.   Today for the first day since restarting Sertraline I have my smile back and a spring in my step - I feel well in myself and I'm sure the nausea isn't as bad today either.
