Prescribed Sertraline but worried about side effects?
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hello, I've recently been prescribed Sertraline for depression after a bad break-up, but I'm really worried about all the side effects. I'm a PhD student and in the last few months of writing up - the side effects sound like they might stop me from being able to concentrate (and I can't concentrate much just now anyway!). Has anyone had any experience of lack of concentration? Going to the gym is the only thing that makes me feel normal right now, and I am worried that taking these might impact on that. Does anyone have any experience of that? Any comments much appreicated!

sweats really bad at night, basal temp between 34/35, this buzzing in my ears is driving me bonkers, my ears feel full and I have had a headache for about 2 months that started before the medication.
i have suffered for years with the hormones with no help from anywhere, now I have reached menopause started bad 3 years ago tried lots of hrt nothing I just got worse really angry on them, so came off them, sept last year I became very ill collasped on bathroom floor eyes darting could not get up whole room spinning it was awful and frightening, called ambulance what a waste of time, I was sort of okish before that.
cut a long story short I ended up with a very bad infection think it was caused by the coil ended up in and out of hospital could not find anything, apart from fibroids and a small cyst between my kidneys, I never ate for 11 weeks and lost over two stone, I had body spasms were all my muscles and joints it was like having a fit, the hospital said it was meno or neurological I am still none the wiser.
i don't know what the side effects for me are because I am still
it has left me very nervous and withdrawn anxious panic, I seem to have 35 of the meno symptoms and more I keep getting yellow bruises everywhere, I can't believe how awful I feel, I keep asking for a hystectomy the answer no, it may take all my problems away,
Side effects are different for everyone mine is sweating at night and a very dry mouth I think worsening of anxiety and panic.
Good luck and positive mental attitude.
