i went to my doctor and have been on setraline 8 weeks and i said i dont really feel any different on them and he is giving me another 2 weeks as he said it takes people a bit longer to feel the effects. so if no change he will change my medication, is there anyone out there who has taken a bit to effect them!

Yes it important to give things a chance see how you feel after your allotted weeks on Setraline and see how you go. It does take time for some medications to get into the system. Best of luck. Any awful side effects of course report them. Hope you get on with them though.

So sorry you have had upset stomach in the morning and doing more poo!!! Some medications do this. Drink plenty while it is having this effect and again after the allotted time you are expected to try this report your symptoms to your GP. I am on Citralapam not for depression but after some family upset I just could not function. I am on 10 mg so low dose. Take care and hope this symptom clears up soon for you Vivienne76607

You haven't mentioned what dose you're on. Your doctor is right, but if you're only on 50mg, ask him to up the dose before trying a different medication Love Tess

That is quite a jump in small doses seems your GP knows what they are doing by the times you have been upped a dose looks like it may take time for your system to settle. Now you are on 150mg It is all going to take time by the sound of it. It has been 8 weeks on different doses. I would keep on with them and give your system a chance to get used to them usually takes a month or so then you can tell what your like on them. See how you feel.
Kind regards Kathryn

Maybe you can ask your doctor to try increasing your dose? x
