paracetamol with sertraline?

[James1983]

is it ok to mix the 2, as i have flu like symptoms at the moment and would something help with the headache i have got?

[swgrl09]

yeah that is ok to do on an SSRI.

Like swgrl09 said paracetamol is fine and much better to take than Ibuprofen.

[James1983]

I've been taking sertraline for four days now I also feel like I'm coming down with flu or something is this a common side affect and will it pass pls anyone

Common side effect yes, although not one that I had. You might just have flu - quite a lot of it going around at the moment. Colds spread very quickly when there are sudden changes in the weather and I think we can safely say now that our unexpectedly hot summer has well and truly left the building!

As for paracetamol, then it's a big yes - stick to it because there can be rare yet serious interactions with ibuprofen.
