I have been advised from the GP i am stressed as well as showing signs of stress with physical symptoms and therefore been prescribed sertraline 25mg for 1 week and then up to 50mg for two weeks and then review.

I had every side effect when i tried citalopram which is putting me of trying the sertraline, how did you manage with the side effects of sertraline at such a low dose?

i really want to start them but have the thought of citalopram side effects looming over me.

should i take it at night instead of the morning?

    hi Smithy. i cant lie to you- you will probably experience some side effects as sertraline gets into your system. i found it better to expect the worst and then anything less than that was something positive to hold on to. remember that everyone is different and not everyone gets the same side effects.
