I haven’t taken my tablet today because last night my stomach felt like it was on fire and was so sore. It still feels a bit like that now. Is that normal? last time I had this feeling it was before I found out I had gall stones. X

    I haven't personally had fire in my stomach but for the first few weeks I definitely had stomach issues, diarrhea gurgling, gas pain, and a few other issues, but they have been slowly getting better as the days go on. Sertraline is a good medicine but it sure has a bunch of side effects, good news is they get better with time.

    Oh I know your pain! I had it so bad I thought I was having a heart attack. But it was acid buildup. That’s when I went to 100 mg.  But it does get better.
