side effects

[cathycrumble]

I am on sertraline and I would like to know did anyone get sickness missed heart beats and high anxiety after 5 days of starting them and also after 5 days of upping their dose.

I am not too good today so sick and really panicy. I upped my dose to 100 on sat which was 5 days ago.

I have had bad mornings but this morning and last thursday have been worse. and they were 5 days starting and 5 days of upping them.

Sorry you havent felt to good give it a couple more days or go back and speak to your doctor if not happy i tried citalopram once and it made me feel awfull so had to stop.These might just be start up affects so dont lose hope talk to doctor if your worried hope you feel better soon :bighug1:

[cathycrumble]

Thanks Vetran but I really want these to work for me as I have tried cit they did work but I stupidly stopped them after 6 months I did go back on them but couldnt stand the side effects. and the prozac was horendous so I need these to work for me. As you said it could be the start up effects .

Me too Cathy, still having anxiety, not sure if it's the Sertraline or just me. Not sure what to do for the best now. Sertraline kind of feels like my last hope.

[cathycrumble]

Yes I think it is me to who is doing it to myself. So just keeping at them.

Hi Cathy - on day 5 - cannot say I have had missed heart beats but have had a churning stomach today and alot of dyspepsia (hearburn)? Nausea feeling has gone now - but have felt spaced out - still on 50mg but we have to be patient (not half as bad as prozac side effects}!

[cathycrumble]

Yes me to I havnt eaten much too day. As I said day 5 was when I had a awfull day that was last sat then I upped my dose and today is day 5 of upping and I feel awful today.

Hi Cathy - think you just have to put up with it - easier said than none! These side effects will pass (cannot be any worse than bloody Prozac)! Keep your chin up we'll get there:hugs:

[bonanne]

I am the same - this is my third week now - two on 100 - wake up in a panicky sweat still - full of anxiety. Felt sick for ages and upset stomach in the night but that has stopped - still always good to loose a few pounds! Seriously - still don't feel good - would love to know when they actually do work but no answers

[cathycrumble]

I am sure we will :D

And a big :hugs:for you from me:yesyes:

Look - they are bound to work - we are just impatient - there are a few of on here on Sert so it's just a waiting game - could take weeks!

[bonanne]

Thats very true - no one on here has said they work straight away - so it can't be just us. So hard not to be impatient when feeling so so so bad.

I am sorry you are both feeling this way too but glad we are not alone xxxx

[cathycrumble]

Mr W is on them and he has had no symptoms today as he been busy I think that helps.

Cathy xx

[LAURA48]

That's true - but at least we can compare notes!

[cathycrumble]

I know lol. just going to watch emerdale now try and get out of myself lol.

[bonanne]

Guess what - first night slept through and woke up not as panicky...... please let this be it!

[ems73]

Bonanne, that's so great, it gives me hope, I hope you continue to feel better, keep us updated.:)
