Started sertraline

[colinmckee2]

Just began sertraline for the second time, I lasted 2 days last time and I'm on my 5th day now. the side effects are very severe though
Determined to stick it out in the hope there's light at the end of the tunnel. Nauseas, headaches,jaw pain, depersonalisation... Anyone any success stories with sertealine?

Sertraline has been fantastic for me. I've been on it since 2009 with no issues other than weird dreams (but that was pretty normal for me beforehand) I'd definitely stick it out as the longer you are on it, the more the side effects should subside. If you keep stop/starting you'll only be prolonging it. very best of luck to you. Sertraline is well worth sticking with :)

Yeah I know that I need this treatment that's why I have it another go! Sonia your anxiety under control now bud? If so lucky duck! Can't wait to be a that stage

I still have some anxiety- but nowhere near the level it was at before I started the Sertraline. You'll get there too mate, just give it time. Looking forward to eharing how you get on!
