Week 6 on sertraline still getting all the side effect

Hi. Carl.

How long have you been on them for and what

strenghth.

They can cause acid Reflux and you seem to have all the

symptoms. Iv suffered reflux for years, before I started on

these. Look it up and it see what you think, there is alot you

can do to ease it.

I'm giving it another 2 weeks to see if it eases if not I'm going

back to my GP about changing Meds.

Hope you get sorted it's horrible thinking that tomoro might not

bring us relieve

You see i thought it was reflux but Im on medication for over a month for that now but it's still no difference

So know I'm like worse as what i always thought was acid reflux I'm now starting to think it's not.

I go to bed every night thinking tomorrow these problems might go.

They never do, or if they do another one will start.

I don't know if my symptoms are real or there because of my mind. I thought i had a chest/throat infection but I've had it for over two months now. I want to stop the tablets I'd rather have anxiety than all of these physical symptoms.

Ppl tell me i cant just quit them i have to wean off them.

I'm sorry I'm just so fed up. Where did all of this come from

What Meds are you on for the reflux. I was on lansoprosole.

And gaviscon when needed.

Anxiety makes reflux worse, since iv calmed down my reflux is

controlled by diet and gaviscon only now.

Certain food and drinks you should avoid.

It's been a long 6 weeks. Just hope tomoro is a better day for us

both.

Yes thanks

You seem to have a good attitude about it

I'm just banging my head against a wall now it's just so annoying. I shall have a look tomorrow what exact meds I'm on I'm also on propranolol aswell as the others for reflux and sertraline

You carnt just stop them, get advice if your thinking of doing that

Propranolol comes with side effects too.

It may not be the sertraline.

If you don't mind me asking why are you on both.

Because doesn't Propranolol treat anxiety too??

I'm not sure the propranolol was prescribed from day 1 with the sertraline, looking back I was really struggling at the time had alot of life changing things hit me within a month of each other. Although i was stressed and believe I must of had some kind of breakdown i never used to have these constant physical symptoms

It's literally like i have swapped one for the other

I have become a hypochondriac but these problems are definitely there i now always think there is something seriously wrong with me

I would go back to your GP, and before you go write down

thing you want to ask, about the medication your on.

One or the other may not be agreeing with you.

I was put on beta blockers to calm my heart rate,

Honestly I thought I had every think going, so your not aloan on

that one, but had to come off those it slowed my heart rate down

And I was passing out and other symptons. Not every medication

suits us.

I offence go to bed listening to my heart beat in my ears, which

Would freak me out. so I

Would go to bed with earphones on listening to music so I

Couldn't hear my heart.

But please go talk to a gp. I did find one in the end that did listen.

She's helped me loads.
