    Kim,

    i have been on sertraline fir 6 weeks. First couple of weeks were brutal, with lots of side effects: nausea, low appetite, fatigue, racing thoughts, high anxiety, insomnia (switched to taking the meds in the morning). i kept going and around the end of week 3, I started noticing the racing thoughts were not as mighty as before when i would have a panic attack because of them, anxiety seemed more manageable, i started sleeping better at night, which were definitely improvements. I also practiced meditation before bed and it helped me somehow. Now, I am not back to normal 💯, but I can rationalize better with myself. The obsessive thoughts that bothered me the most seem to not haunt me as much or I do not bother to pay attention to them too much, so I see an improvement in this area I still obsess over certain things which I am jot happy with, so I may need to increase the dose from 50 mg, but I am ok with that if that may make me feel better. Unfortunately I am going through a stressful period at work so that does not help too much, but I still feel I am doing better than when I decided to go on Zoloft

    what symptoms or side effects do you get on sertraline?
