    hello julie, perhaps not exactly the same as you but while starting on sertraline, i noticed i didnt like the smell of any food, or taste, and felt sick/nauseous, no appetite

    i think that lasted about 5 days, and then went away fully

      I have no, if not little appetite since being on Sertraline. It's only my sixth of taking them, but once the food is in front of me I'll eat it.

      Totally get this, really sucks this feeling. I've had this for years, but have only talked to the doctors to see what he could do and now I'm hoping after taking these pills that I will feel more grounded.
