Steraline 50mg any experiences on it?
Posted , 8 users are following.
Plucked up the courage and saw the doctor today for my depression and anxiety. He has referred me for cbt and has put me on steraline 50mg. All was fine until I saw the side effects and now I'm scared to take them . Anyone who has taken this and could share their experiences please?

Days, it made me feel sleepy and a bit heavy, I did get a bit more anxiety too, but I was getting anxiety anyway, Dr gave me diazepam to help.
She wont be giving me anymore tho, so I'm a bit worried, walking helps me tho, and the gym, but mornings I feel awful as do a lot of people I think. Let us know how you get on, all the best, we are all going through it, so you are not alone sweet heart.

most likely your already suffering the symptoms that these pills will sadly give you, yes sertraline can be bad with side effects but without them, can you cope with how you are now,if your one of the few then you may not have a bad start with them, but like most on here will tell you, it can take from at least 2 weeks and some upto 8 weeks to fully work,i could not have done it without sertraline, and i deffinatley dont ever want to go back to how i was in the first place.you will get there but at a cost, and dont forget if it does get bad the docs will help you with it.for me it was well worth the struggle and i wont lie it was a struggle. some pack in, some have no problems at all and some manage fine, if it does get bad the doc may prescribe you propropolol not sure how to spell it, that will calm the panic and adrenalin rush you will experiance, it doesn't help to always read parts of the information on the instruction sheet, remeber they have to include everything to cover themselves, 1000s are taking sertraline and if they can do it im sure you can too.take care

Good luck....it won't kill you, it can only help you or NOT help you...so try it...and like someone already said...usually side affects subside in a short time (which seems like forever).
The pill I take I always get a mild headache...and the urge to use the bathroom for about 1.5 weeks...then I feel nothing when I take it...and my mood and behaivors definetly change for the better. You have nothing to lose.

Really is, may I ask what ativan is? Is it a type of valium like diazipam? And does I work once you take it? I also
Tried one other AD 2 months ago,
Citalopram, I had one tablet and it gave me the most severe panic attack,
And since then my panic and anxiety got even worse ,I think it was very
Traumatic for me. So I didn't want to
Take AD. But I got so bad I had to do something. Well I'm ahead of you on the sertraline, so if you want I can let you know how I'm getting on, I just
dread waking up, do you sleep at night?

Sleep naturally, but I also wake up in the night or really early llike 5 or 6am, even though I'm so tired still, the
Anxiety just wont let me calm sleep,
and if I do fall back a sleep after
taking 3mg of diazipam, it will only be for Hal an you then i wake up with
panic a doom and gloom again,its sooo awful, I really do feel for you, and it does help to be able to speak to somone about it, who understands,how are you feeling on the sertraline?
