The Great Big Sertraline Side Effect Thread
Hi there! We all know our meds can do funny things to both our bodies, and our brains, and each person differently! So why not all talk about how our meds effect us here? That way, any folk experiencing strange or worrying effects, can look and feel somewhat reassured, or even glean some advice to help cope.
I have just been upped from 50mg to 100mg Sertraline, to combat increased anxiety, and a mild essential tremor. Currently, I'm not feeling too bad, sometimes a bit spacey, and a bit shaky, with occasional fatigue, but so far nothing too nasty.

Re: The Great Big Sertraline Side Effect Thread
Oh I know mine are to be expected. What are your side effects april?
Re: The Great Big Sertraline Side Effect Thread
I just bumped from 50 to 75, a lot of jaw clenching and headaches and extreme dry tongue. A bunch of other stuff too but I think it's all the same anxiety I had before. Trying to be positive these have some effect soon!
Re: The Great Big Sertraline Side Effect Thread
Last night I woke up suddenly,and i had the effect of seeing all different shapes,like a patchwork of noughts and crosses flashing in my vision and I couldn't get them to fade for ages,it was horrible.Then today I've felt sort of anxious,and spaced out.
Until now,just a bit spacey.

I clench my jaw and grind my teeth too. Today, I was just generally antsy. Kinda hard when you're job is sitting still and drawing all day!

I have been on sert for quite awhile they take along time to work but when they do you feel great hang in there although I still get a very dry mouth at night xx
Re: The Great Big Sertraline Side Effect Thread
yeah, the clenching needs to go...my teeth don't feel like they fit together the right way now, I hope it stops.
How long did it take you MRS STRESS ED to feel better?
Re: The Great Big Sertraline Side Effect Thread
Iv been on 50mg for a while now, an the lasting side effects Iv had are:
Change in appetite! I used to hate sweet food an now crave chocolate all the time!
Vivid dreams- my dreams are ABSOLUTLEY mad, and I remember them so clearly. Has resulted in funny stories to tell!
Sex drive- dossapeared completely at first but starting to come back!
Teeth- I feel like I hve to constantly bite on something at the back of my mouth, it's weird!
But overall I'm feeling so much better :) for those who have just started an having the horrible nausea, toilet issues and sleep problems like I had at first, mine went away quite quickly!
