Sertraline! what were your side-effects?

[pinkpiglet]

Is anyone taking or as taken Sertraline?

If so what kind of side effects did you experience and how long did they last?

I have been taking them for 13 days and i am feeling dreadful.

I am feeling constantly dizzy/lightheaded, i am extremely fatigued and am unable to concentrate.
Most people report sleplessness but what i am experiencing is the opposite.

I didnt sleep for a week felt more on edge & was shaky.

I couldnt tolerate them lots of people do

I've been on setraline 50mg for 5 weeks and now 100 for 2 weeks.

The effects i had in the first 3 weeks (which went away):
Increased anxiety and panic
Restlessness
Feeling on edge
Unable to concentrate
Feeling hungover all the time (i don't drink)

Then i had some side effects which last longer and are only now starting to subside:
Stomach problems, lots of diareah/feeling sick/heartburn
Not feeling hungry

I have had problems with insomnia for years so i can't really blame the tablets for that! The side effects should go away and if they get too much go back to see your drX
