Hi Everyone,

my question is have you had lower blood pressure during taking Sertaline ?

My blood pressure low anyway but I feel little bit dizzy and my blood pressure is around 90/50 or 100 ish.

Thanks x

    Yeah, I have had blood pressure of 80/65, but my doc said not to worry about that. As for dizziness, it could just be side effect of med. even lower blood pressure could be side effect of med. If it relieves your mind, go see a doc just to confirm.

      Thanks for the quick answer. I feel this only two weeks so I was wondering if Sertaline does it or something else... I am on low dose ( 25 mg ) btw. I think no point to ask GP...

      Everything is normal and fine ...

      but good to know I am not alone

      Thanks x

      Hey, i have been on Sertraline for 18 days now, 15 at 50mg and 3 at 75mg. My BPnwas running at 210 when i was having sever panic attacks but it is alot lower now x all i can say is a lower BP is better than a high one hun x here if you need to talk, you are never alone on here we all understand c i hope you are feeling better xx ❤

      Hi Nicola, thanks for your answer :-)

      I just worry that 80-90 but too low ... surprised

      I feel better since a take it even if it's only 25 mg. Only the last couple of days feel like my head but weird and I've checked my blood pressure and between 80-90 before I go to bed ... xx

      My advice to you is to stop checking your BP babe it will go up and down, that is the anxiety and watching it so much will make you worse x you need to let the Sertraline do its job and i promise it will work for you 😊 25mg is such a low dose and you probably need to raise it x you should talk to your GP about that x it does give you side effects, mine have been horrendous but its sounds like you aren't too bad at all so breathe and don't panic, its all normal, i promise xxx
