Side effects of sertraline 😔
Posted , 5 users are following.
I have suffered from anxiety since January this year, after having all the tests done, heart monitor, blood tests etc my doctor prescribed me with 50g of sertraline a day, I'm on day 4 now and this drug has knocked me for 6, I feel weak I've not eaten and on day 2 I had a massive panic attack the worse I've ever had, I just feel tired and fed up. Someone please give me some hope that these side effects will go 😪

I have been on sertraline for 9 weeks - 3 weeks @25mg and now 6 weeks @50mg. Â The side effects have been slow at dissipating but i now have mostly good days. Â I lost 15 lbs, but that has now levelled off and I still suffer from insomnia - hopefully that will get better with time.
 I am going to wait another 2 weeks @50mg before i discuss an increase with my Dr - i would like to stick with the 50mg and therapy to manage my anxiety -
Unfortunately it is a waiting game and patience is what you need now as difficult as that sounds. Â One moment at a time was all i could manage some days but it does get better! Â I found the support and encouragement of this community to be invaluable during the most difficult times.
I hope you have a better day today than you did yesterday. Â best of luckÂ
