    Oh yessss .... but I think mine was part of my anxiety. Still I have sometimes but very rare.

    Try to eat often, small amounts of food and probiotics.

    I've been on sertaline for 7 weeks and felt alright fot the first two or three weeks but now feel worse tthan before I started taking the tablets and have had diarrhea for the past three weeks? I saw the doctor last week who didn't seem concerned but told me to carry on for another two weeks and if I still had diarrhea to go back? Not good.... so I stopped taking the tablets four days ago rightly or wrongly and will see how I get on. I still have the diarrhea but no other symptoms yet?

    Hi Jessie just wanted to give you an update since I threw those "Devil's own" tablets in the bin almost two weeks ago.  I can honestly say I feel much better, more calm and less anxious, also my tummy symptons have now finally gone... no more diarrhea..... back to normal at last.  I will never ever take Sertraline again and if I'm ever prescribed any tablets for anything in the future I will make sure I properly research them and any side effects they can cause before taking them.

    I do hope things have improved for you?  Take care.

      Hi Jessie I'm sure that when you finally come off these horrible tablets you will soon see an improvement and your tummy will return to normal.
