Setraline - side effects and how it works
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have been suffering from OCD and my doctor prescribe me setraline 25 mg and now it is in six weeks since my medication started. I am having mild headache which does not interfere with my daily activities which i have noticed one week after starting medication. Then, last week, I started suffering neck stiffness and pain around shoulder and unwanted thoughs & anxiety are coming back along with these symptoms although i was feeling better after 3 week of meedication.
I just want to know whether anyone of you who is taking such medication suffers from these symptoms as the way i m suffering. Are these usual side effects? Can these thoughts and anxiety be recurrered after relieving for certain period while taking setraline?
I feel like i am going to be crazy. Please share me your experience.

I'm on 10 weeks and yes, the bad thoughts and other side effects can come back throughout the process of your body getting use to them. I've had a week here and there where my thoughts were almost gone and then they would pop up so severe again. It'll get better.

I am feeling tension in my neck and shoulder for 4-5 days now. Did you feel this either? If so, when did you start feeling better?

Honestly Alan, I don't remember a lot of the physical side effects other than headache and dizziness. The headaches didn't come for me until around week 4. This what you're suffering from will all be just a memory for you. Stay with it at least for another month.
