Hi all,

2nd time been prescribed Sertraline after a 3 year break of sertraline (in fact all meds) when i was doing really well a lot of the time. Dont remember the side effects like this last time, almost no sleep, jaw clenching, changes in body temperature (i am normally quite warm, wear shorts even in snow, window open all time etc), bloating and muscle ache (possibly due to no sleep for 3 nights?). Tried quite a few meds in past where i do remember the side effects, worst being Venlaflaxine - Doctor pulled me off that after 6 days, but also tried Citalopram - side effects still after 2 months, Fluoxetine (worked really well for a year then seemed to stop), amitriptyline - pretty much slept constantly and previous time on sertraline where i dont remember much side effects other than took abouy 4 weeks to work after which went up in dose very quickly.

Am i just selectivly forgetting the side effects from last time on sertratline whilst remembering the others or is it possibly worse because been on before? Got a phone call with my doctor for anytime after 9am monday so hopefully things will get better or at least maybe get some answers (he mentioned as been on before maybe upping the dose to 100 after 2 weeks)

Thanks
