Ive been prescribed Sertraline due to Chronic pain issues and Anxiety and Depression. I was prescribed 100 milligrams and was informed to up to 150 milligrams. I do take Belbuca for pain as well and Im prescribed Metoxalone as well. Ive noticed that Im real anxious and have been having bad issues with Sleep. I am prescribed Buspirone as well. I think I'm having issues with Seritonin. I have IBS as well and noticed that it is really hard on my Stomach. Does anyone have any good words of encouragement for me. I just want to have a better quality of life. My pain issues worsen when I don't get sleep and it causes My Anxiety to get much worse. I'm suffering to be honest and have had some really bad thoughts racing through my Mind. I Thank anyone that can give me some sound advice.

    I find taking the medication in the morning at the same time with a decent breakfast alleviates most of the stomach issues. Churning guts is one of the early side effects that lessens as you progress, stick with it the intrusive thoughts do subside although occasionally come back from time to time but as you move through the weeks you will be in a better place to shrug them off.

    I've been through this a few times before as have been on and off meds for most of my adult life. It does get better - stay hopeful.
