I started sertraline yesterday so I've only had one 50 mg tablet,I have been throwing up a lot and a constant sick feeling,shakes and had a horrible anxiety feeling and a fear that something bad is going to happen,is this normal? I'm nit sure if I should carry on taking them and it will grgradually get better or if I should stop because it's not right for me? Any advice would be much appreciated

Am so sorry you are feeling rubbish :-(. I actually felt fine the 1st wk wasn't til wk 2 the side effects started I did feel sick but never was, the anxiety/agitation got worse for me too and I still now wake up on occasions feeling something might happen. But I do feel btr in myself I thinks its a case of small steps which is frustrating when all u want to do is feel normal&happy. We will get there in the end I have to think positive. Chin up :-) xx

I started taking mine today as well and took it feeling very optimistic. I had read many reviews last night which were mostly negative but I didn't let them affect my mood whilst taking the pill today. After 3 hours I had a horrendous stomach ache and had to rush to the toilet with diarrhoea.... nice, i then felt very cold and had to lie down for several hours on the sofa whilst attempting to watch the football which I had been looking forward to. I couldnt actually focus watching the tv so I laid there listening to the commentary - even though this sounds like not a very nice experience I actually felt very calm and relaxed, although I was grinding my teeth. This evening my mood hasnt been great and I feel very spaced out. Off to bed now and hoping to have a peaceful night... Its very normal to feel this at the start so I think we should try and be a bit more positive - if thats possible

I really think that us as anxious / depressed people can really make our sensations / symptoms worse or better in an instance depending on our thoughts, perceptions and hopes of our medications.
