Hi vikki,

Just started medication about a week 50 mg.

have anxiety and depression. Guess I'm looking for a positive outlook on this. Hope your doing well.

I recently been put on it back in march due to my fathers tragic death and i feel worse since i started it. I'm 34 yr old healthy mom who use to be able to get up in the mornings to get the kids up and take them to school and now I can barely get out of bed. I have a hard time cleaning the house. I sleep so much. I'm on topamax for my migraines and if I over/ undér slept in the past it would bring on a migraine so now sleeping as much as I do. My medicine barley works for that. And a week ago I started having severe chest anxiety pains that won't go away. I'm taking meds to feel better and cope with his death and it feels like it's making me worse.

Hi Vikki2303 l have just been put on Sertraline today, and was hoping to hear good reviews, as l have feeling poorly since l stopped taking HRT 9 months ago, but still l feel low and unable to work at the mo, but l am hoping this drug will be a miracle cure, please give me some hope of a normal life !!!!

I've been on it for 6 days I feel dreadful during the day, nausea dizziness and stomach discomfort like I have to use the bath room. And my appetite is non existent but I try to eat

I know this thread is a year old but I just wanted to reach out. I recently started taking 25 mg sertraline and was wondering how long it takes to work, I take it at night because it makes me tired. I recently had a bad stint with anxiety, usually I bounce back but this time not so much. The hospital treated it as a cardiac thing but I've done an echo and also stress test, came back ok. Cardiologist put me on beta blocker but my bp only gets high when.I'm anxious...I don't know if it's the beta blocke or sertraline making me feel shaky and.sick...this has been a nightmare...my dr also gave me xanax just .25 but I don't wabt to get into habit of taking make sense??

Just came across this thread very helpful reading other people's experiences. I was on citalopram about 2 years ago I was really anxious back then especially at work. I wouldn't go to the kitchen to get a drink I'd put any rubbish I had in my bag so I didn't have to walk across the office and I'd eat my lunch out of my handbag so people couldn't see. Sounds so stupid now thinking about it. I stayed on citalopram for about a year and then came off cos I just didn't like the idea of taking them to make me happy. Unfortunately the past year I've gone back down hill again and been severely depressed and very anxious and irritable. Yesterday I finally plucked up the courage to go to the doctors and decided to try something new (sertraline) I've had 2 tablets so far and this morning woke up feeling unbelievably tired, my head feels like it's being crushed, I feel really spaced out and my jaw is very tense. I've read about people gaining weight with this too..please tell me that's not going to happen cos I'm literally on the borderline of being fat Also will my side effects get worse?
