    Hi Mandy.

    It's still early days for us, iv been on them for 2 weeks,

    I get palputations the sertraline can cause them in the early stages of

    taking them. With lots of other symptoms but i think my palputations are though anxiety.

    I suffer from acid Reflux too.

    But now my anxiety calming down so is my reflux.

    Everyone is different on how long they take to start working,

    But my GP says 4-6 weeks.

    I'm taking manuka Honey for my reflux and iv noticed a difference.

    I have good days and bad days but iv got 2 weeks behind me so hopefully will feel the benifits soon

    Don't give up just yet, xx

      Fingers crossed that in a couple of weeks we will both be over

      the side effects.

      I'm on HRT so don't have menopause symptoms to contend with

      Keep me posted on how your are doing,

      Good Luck xx
