Still experiencing terrible side effects at six weeks

if you have a facebook, search for zoloft group. theres tons of people who reply quick!

hi, I take 50 mg of the brand name Zoloft and have never had those side effects.

but everyone reacts differently to meds...

i don't know where you are but if you can get the brand name it might help. sometimes it could be the additives in the generic. but sometimes insurance won't cover brand if there's a generic. it's worth a shot your doctor would just need to write a prescription for brand only.

otherwise if you tell your doctor about the side effects they'll want to put you on another med.

also if you are able to and don't already try exerscing in the morning. just so you'll be tired by night. if you can take an aerobics class that'll take your mind off of things for a little while too.

good luck

Hi, ive been on these pills for 2 years and now im on the highest dose. ive had loads of aide affects. never vertigo though and ita not one ive heard of. you will experience these generally everytime you change your dose so not sure if youve changed this at all during the 6 weeks.

i remember when i forst started the side affects were awful and i started taking mine at approx 5pm each evening so the majority of the side affects would happen whilst i was sleeping. you could experiment with this.

o would get the vertigo checked out as this could be something in isolation x

Sarahbia, sorry to hear you are struggling.

I too have the insomnia. Do you sleep at all? Im only on day 12 (5 at 75mg) and have had up to 3 nights of no sleep.

I wish there was some way of knowing what exact dose to take to make it work.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling very good.

I am week 7 on 50mg, although I have dropped back to 25mg now as I have had awful stomach upsets and a constant ringing in my ears. I have had my ears checked and they are fine. I have had a stool sample and it's clear. I can only put it down to the Sertraline. So I am going to come for them. The stomach upsets are awful and I can't leave the house without worrying i'll need to dash for a loo! I'm scared to try a new medication in case I get ill again! I need something though but it's a vicious circle! Maybe you could try another medication?

I was on them 9 weeks had to come off them made the anxiety worse and worse, as someone else said I would get the vertigo checked in case something else, got bit dizzyness and headaches for first couple weeks but not migraines. I'm on citalopram now , as sertralines really weren't tablets for me

Hi sarah I was on sertraline 50mg for 5+ weeks my side effects got worse not better so seem my doc and he told me to come off them its been 4 days now and I still feel very bad - upsets stomach - indigestion - acid reflux - sweats - panick attacks - aches like having flue - breathless alot of the time even doing routine things is a challenge atm - no appetite lost about 7kgs - I was hoping this medication would improve things for me but I guess its not the one for me.

Hope you feel better soon if not see your doc and try another med as some are more suited to people than others cheers Mark
