    They never are. But i think stomach problems occur in some as its a known fact that sertraline causes gastritis. Thats why my doc told me to eat it after my breakfast every morning.

    Yes, normal, Sertraline absorbs in small bowel. Seretonin irritates the bowel, as explained to me y pharmacy. I had it as well, probiotics work to stop it

      Dear Jessie .... Sounds almost identical... I've been on the lowest dose and if that's how they make feel then they are going in the bin. Hopefully things will get better for you. I hate taking pills. Take care.

      Im now on 150mg 40+ days in and it still doesnt seem to be doing much and the side effects are outweighing the benefits..

      Is the Sert making you feel any better?
