    Alex I'm not sure why u feel the need to be aggressive? I didn't delete your posts, I am not a moderator of this site I am someone who takes sertraline and so feels I can help people not scare them. Medication affects people in so many different ways which is why the lists of effects are so long on any medication. I haven't been affected by the particular one you mention although I know it can be a side effect for some people, but that goes for all SSRI medication as far as I am aware.

    Have woken up this morning feeling like i have a hangover. Felt like that quite a lot recently anyway but this morning is worse, maybe it's the sertraline. Sore head and just feel out of sorts. So tired and i had a very weird dream last night, on the plus side i slept like a log even if i did wake up feeling rubbish and like i'd only been asleep for an hour!xx
