IBS symptoms from Sertraline?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Has anyone experienced persistent IBS type stmptoms while being on Seetraline? I've been taking it since September and still continue to have these symptoms.

I was on Sertraline for almost a year, before briefly coming off it over the summer and didn't experience these stmptoms, so seems strange to be getting them this time around.

      Aren't they just different names that are used in different countries?

    yes. IBS is a side effect of excess Seretonin in the stomach but should calm down in the weeks ahead. Best of luck x

      Thanks for your message Jon. I've been on it for over four months now though, so would've thought it would have calmed down already?
