Hi,
I was prescribed Sertraline 100mg on 2nd July after realising Fluoxetine was not touching my anxiety. My dose was increased 2 weeks ago to 150mg as my anxiety had started to come back, and now I'm experiencing tremors, head eyes and hands especially, butterflies in stomach, diahorrea:wacko: and teeth clenching. My anxiety has definately lessened, don't wake up in the morning analysing the way I feel and waiting for that stomach crunching feeling, but was wondering how long I should expect these side effects to last (pls note, the side effects are the lesser evil than the anxiety symptoms and would much rather have these than the anxiety!!!) Any advice gratefully welcomed.
Thanks :)
