I’ve just started Sertraline for three days.I’ve tooken a few Antidepressent in the past. I was wondering if somebody could give me some positive advice on them. Lots of people on the forum seem to give negative views concerning the use of Sertraline. Also can you loose weight while taking them.

Would much appreciate people’s views.

    I was on 50mg for 4 weeks, never again. Panic attacks, anxiety, heart palpitations were the side effects which I had.

      Thank yoh for your reply, you might have been someone who did not get positive affects from using this Antidepressent..

      I just hope i’m Lucky. Did you feel like eating while taking them, also did you notice a increase or decease in your weight.

    I was put on Sertraline (50mg then 100 after 3 months) around 6 months ago and was incredibly apprehensive about them. However, I can honestly say they have been a life saver for me. I am so much calmer now and able to deal with stressful situations a lot better than I used to. They take a few weeks to start working and you might feel worse at first before you feel better but give them a chance to kick in before deciding if you want to stop them or not.
