Hi

So 3 days ago I upped sertraline from 25-50mg since then my stomach has been bubbling and making noises! A lot of flatulence and burping. The past 2 days iv been sick but it's just white foamy mucus! I feel so poorly. Has anybody else experienced this with sertraline?

I'm freaking out because I feel so poorly and I'm scared it could be something else. I'm getting niggling pains in my chest too in my upper middle abdomen and the upper left side.

Rang GP today and she said drop back down to 25mg. But after 3 days on 50mg will I get withdrawal side effects from going back down? I'm at my wits end now with this medication. Only been on it less than 4 weeks and it's been hell on earth 😭

    Ask your GP about omeprazole. Ive been on various doses of sertraline for the best part of a year and my stomach has been problematic since day 1. Taking omeprazole half an hour or so before the sertraline seems to calm things down significantly. Certainly worth a try smile

    Hello, did stopping sertraline or reducing at 25 mg change anything ?… I have the same issues with sertraline (50mg).
