Hi hun im on these meds 100mg a day havent had any bad side effects with them hope ur ok havent heard from u for a while x
Please be aware that it can have pretty bad side effects for up to about 6weeks, but not everyone gets them and most that do seem to die down after a couple of weeks.
I started on 50mg then went up to 100mg after 6weeks. Give us a shout if you want to

Hey amandaj (the gaming legend :P)
I started Setraline last Monday and had 2 really good days and then had a few side effects the last 3 days just like headache and feeling a bit spaced out and sleeping a lot but nothing that is too bad
I have heard really good things about this tablet and how much it has helped people so fingers cross that we are both on the mend :P

i started on 25mg 4 weeks ago then went up to 50mg a week ago and now on 75mg. still haven't had any side effects other than going to bed much earlier than i used to. anxiety died down a lot for a few days this week and i felt wonderful but it came back a couple days ago and now i feel like crap:( but like everyone says on here...it takes awhile to get rollin'
Hi Amanda
I take sertraline, I did get some minor side effects and I had an increase in anxiety for a couple of weeks but it died down after that. You may not get any side effects at all, some people don't. Hopefully you will be one of them.
Take care

I got panic attacks, anxiety throw the roof for the first 3/4weeks then no real improvement till I was up to 100mg after 6weeks, - 4days after up'in felt 99% back to my normal self and still fine. It has worked for me, but I have to say the first 4 weeks or so was the worst time I have ever had in my life.

Hi Amanda,
I have been on sertraline for about two years now. I find them to be about the best anti-depressant I have had for helping my depression/frame of mind, and I have tried a few different pills. The only side effect I have found is getting mild-to-bad headaches if I forget to take them one day - as I have occasionally done! I was on 150mg for a time, but this caused me to be hyper anxious, I was told this was because it was more than I needed, I am much better now with the 50mg. Good luck with your medication, and I hope it does the job for you!
