Has anyone here continued to have loose stools long into their Sertraline treatment (6 months+) ?

      Cheers for your reply mate. Did it eventually subside/ease off? I've been on it since August and still bothering me.

      I weirdly didn't have this problem last time I was on Sertraline, but at that time I was also on Olanzapine, so maybe this counter acted it (as it can cause constipation).

      What a lovely subject matter!! 😦

      I know what you mean, I feel that it just prevents things from getting worse, rather than making any noticeable improvements.
