Hello fr Tx USA. I took Sertraline for 3 months an also took Klonapine 0.5mg as needed for anxiety. 50mg started . Back in 2014. First
month battled constant diarrhea, anorexia, lost wt. a little in crease in anxiety an more crying. Stomach hurt. I got to where I would break a pill in half an take half in am an half in pm. Unfortunately, mentally it started helping after 5 wks but I got sicker an sicker physically. Felt like I had flu on 2 month. Taking alot of Ibup. You shouldn't take anti-inflammatories while on Anti-depressants due to increase in bleeding. So I was bruised alot. Finally went to Dr cause I felt so horrible physically. Bloodwork done. Liver enzymes had gone up. Kinda like hepatitis caused by Sertraline. I was told to stop rt away. My liver was fine before I started it. I lowered to 25mg for 2 wks then stopped. After 2-3 months liver enzymes normal again an all physical symptoms gone but depression came back. So cant take it. Id watch that all over body pain. If it continues or you have liver area pain or upper back pain, get bloodwork done just to check. Sertraline isnt for everyone. Theres other meds out there. Im currently on 30mg Duloxetin (Cymbalta)for a little over 2 wks. Feel just blah rt now. At first extreme fatigue. Now just thinking"Whats the point?" On anything. Dont want to do anything. No motivation. So I hope that goes away soon. Christmas is coming an I dont even feel like decorating! Keep eye on symptoms. Goodluck. Remember it does take 4-6 wks for real relief mentally.

Hi ya , I know that feeling. I'm similarly a happy go lucky guy who just started getting this very scared feeling about 5 years ago. I'm now on Lustral 50mg. It takes some weeks to take best effect and it does take this time.. When starting out it does get worse before you get a lift In my experience. I also attend CBT and find the combination works well but still have off days .Best of luck Hayley
