Hi it's me again

I'm on week 11 now of 25mg of sertraline. 

I know it's a low dose but I'm sensitive to medication.

the problem is that for the last week iv felt nauseous and had a headache most of the week. 

Im feeling anxious again because of these symptoms.

im goig away Sunday and I'm starting to get worried about it, because if I'm feeling like this I'm not going to enjoy it. Worried about getting on a plane, I used to love flying. Trying meditation cds but don't seem to be helping my anxiety. 

Iv tried to get a doctors aptmt but the only date I could get is 5th May. 

Im taking paracetamol on a regular basis which most of the times doesn't help. For the nausea feeling iv tried ginger tea, infusing ginger,

i am going to suggest trying a different A/D when I go on the 5th but that does help me now. I think at wk 11 everything should have settled by now?? 

any advice please

      Hi Sharen. 

      Bless you for getting in touch. 

      Glad you managed to get away it does you good to take your mind off things.

       I think I got het up about flying but now I'm here I seemed to have calmed down, I still get the odd headache behind my eyes, but haven't felt neausea for a few days. 

      Im still going to keep my gps aptmt on the 5th just in case, but have one or two things I need checking out. Opticians that day too. My headache may be due to my cataracts?? I started with them in my 40s and they are slowly getting worse, not looking forward to that one. 

      Hope your having more good days now. X
