hi

i am on week 8 of 50mg of zoloft/ sertraline

i have noticed a difference in my stress levels however my side effects that are ongoing are really bringing me down and i am wondering if it is worth it

still have a poorly stomach that comes and goes

stiff and aching muscles especially legs and back

tight and sore jaw has returned

chest pain like a constant dull burning ache

heartburn and burping

teeth grinding and night sweats

sore throat and dry cough

can anyone help or relate? x x

    these are all side effects which does take time to get use too. i came off my dosage and i am just about free from Sertraline. i have opted for CBT and im just about to start st john wort as a supplement along side a vitamin supplement with iron to help with the tiredness due to the constant adrenaline overload. I'm also listening yo the audiobook called The Chimp Paradox as it helps you think differently about anxiety.
