    50mg Sert, side effects lasted the best part of 4 weeks .... 

    By far the worst was nausea +++ 

    Also : 

    dizziness 

    light headed

    morning 'jitters' 

    mild tremor of both hands 

    blurred vision

    strange taste in my mouth

    very dry mouth 

    dilated pupils

    generally felt 'odd' a bit spaced out ? 

    tired, and sleepy during the day 

    vivid dreams 

    heightened anxiety 

    mild headache 

    felt weak and wobbly 

    The side effects gradually faded away, altho I still have a 'dry mouth' and the vivid dreams ... 

    All in all not a pleasant experience, but worth the benefit. 

    Hope this helps x
