Anxiety related nausea

[panic_down_under]

I’ve been on 150mg for 7 weeks and I had a few good days but the last four days the stomach issues have come back in full force the anxious tummy and diarrhoea have been horrible

It is unusual for these side-effects to return after 7 weeks at the same dose, although not unheard of. Could it be the the flu, or the after effects of a dodgy curry? Remedies containing loperamide should help with the diarrhoea.

No doctor said it’s normal it takes 12 weeks to level,

It really is bothering me, but he says it will sort it’s self out

I started 5 days ago. I have stomach cramps and gas and I’m very tired

Does anybody else suffer with morning anxiety?
Literally in the evenings I feel good and chilled out so issues but every morning I wake up anxious knot in my stomach and urge to poo and this continues until about 4/5pm and then settles down once I’m home.

I’m 10 weeks on sertraline and my anxiety levels have been very high I’m just so fed up with it

Yeah mine is so bad in the mornings too. I'm also waking up a lot during the night at the minute too with intense anxiety so that's not very fun. Mine starts to settle later in the day too. I wonder why x

It's normal. Cortisol rises in the morning to wake us up and it's common to feel bad as soon as you wake up. The best thing to do is get up and walk about for a bit. If you focus on the 'why', it'll probably hang about all day.

Yea I’ve heard that cortisol thing, it’s just so frustrating I had 6/7 really good days and bang just like that I feel crappy again, I’m so tired of it all

That's the pattern. Try focusing on the good days rather than the constant re-confirmation that you don't like feeling bad. Nobody likes feeling bad.

I know and I have made huge improvements in trying to be better but when it’s tough it’s very tough, my bowel movements are relatively normal and my appetite is good it’s just the morning anxiety and feeling of needing to poo

Most people here have been where you are, but as far as possible, you have to try not to dwell on it. It's all a question of redirecting your thoughts.
