I've been on sertraline since I was 15- I'm 32 now and I find it really helpful. I struggle with OCD and I feel like it helps to calm the 'noise' from that. I started with 150mg but reduced the dose (no point in being on more meds than you need) and feel good on 75mg.
I really can't remember getting any side effects from it so hopefully you'll also have a good response to it
Thanks Vicky x
Let’s hope huh
I've just come off Sertraline as it didn't work for me. I went up to 150mg and have come off slowly. I was on it around 10 months.
Are you still taking the Venlafaxine? See, that one worked for me... it's weird how they affect us all differently. I hope this is the one for you. You certainly learn patience being on these bloody drugs!
Side effects vary for everyone. Sertraline gave me:
nausea (for 48 hours)
a slightly hyper/manic state of mind (for the first 4-5 days)
occasional bleeding gums (first couple of weeks)
a clenched jaw and teeth grinding (first 4-5 weeks)
... but it started working very quickly. I began to feel less anxious within a few days, and was getting the full benefits within 2-3 weeks.
Fingers crossed for me then , just started day 4 and feel no worse so that’s a good thing I guess ,
Sleeping is a problem I have noticed even with sleeping pill I’m awake till early hours then up at 7

I had the sleeping problem.
