Sertraline 3 weeks - my story
Posted , 4 users are following.
I've been taking 50mg Sertraline for 3 weeks now after a build up then break down at work, resulting in me not being able to function properly.
I've struggled with depression since the age of around 14, I am now 21 and have only now decided to take action on it as I noticed it effecting my work life since becoming full time and also my relationship.
My GP warned me of possible sexual side effects and increased nausea, yet I never really had nausea to begin with, it was more 'the other end'.
Since then, the last few weeks have been terrible. I have found myself left with absolutely NO sex drive and difficulty reaching orgasm (even alone) which is very awkward as I am in a relationship. I also have incredibly bad wind and am constantly burping, especially after eating and this can sometimes keep me up for hours when I am trying to sleep. I have bad diarrhoea and find myself on the toilet up to 7 times a day.
My tears seem to have stopped quite a lot but my anger has sky rocketed and I have a lot of spells of wanting to hurt myself. But more in the sense of wanting to punch walls and make myself get bruises which I am almost proud of????
I was wondering if any females have had the same sexual side effects as me, as I was told they were more common in men.

It such a relief to hear someone who has had a positive experience of Sertraline! I'm considering changing my medication from Sertraline to something different, I have been taking Sertraline for 11 weeks! So you think this is long enough for my body to have got used to them? Or should I wait longer?
