just started sertraline feel awful

[And1404]

Hi Jackie, I noticed the first day that i took the tablet that my bad mood lifted, I too felt quite agitated and on edge for the first couple of days but that seems to have settled now. I do feel quite sleepy and relaxed but hey i am not complaining about that. The only thing that I am a bit worried about is I am aware of my heart beating all the time and sometimes in my throat which I dont like. Day 5 today for me today and feelin less anxious now about the meds. Hope things are going well for you today too xx

hi andi1404, glad to hear you feeling better. i feel as though i can hear my heart beating as well, not all the time, mainly at night when i lie down, i just try and ignore it. got a little bit of musle ache down left side of my chest which is strating to freak me out again, but i am trying to tell myself i have had it before exactly the same and it was fine, but i am getting anxious about it. like you feel sleepy, sleeping like a log at night best in a long time but could easily sleep all day as well, never mind better than panicking all day i guess. have a good day x

hi, i am so glad you still feeling ok and that you not having panic attacks. i am now on day 8 and have been feeling fine, tired but fine up til yest, like you could have gone to full blown panic mode but it didin't but i do feel jittery today, not sure why. i just feel at that point where you can feel the panic just brewing under the surface, i hope it will go away cos like you i was feeling fine on these meds. it could be cos my line manager is due to phone me today to see how things are and i feel dread about that cos i can't give her an answer as to what is causing me to panic and i am running out of sick time beofre they cut my wage which i can't afford to happen, - which i could win the lottery so i didn't have to work lol. sorry i am rambling a bit this morning. i really hope you continue to have good days

Hi I've just come off paroxatine and been put on sertraline as I wasn't coping. Day 1 I had really bad nausia then nothing till day 4 when I kept feeling dizzy, day 5 and 6 within 30 minutes of taking the tablet I have a crushing feeling in my head and really bad headache, the only way I could cope was by going back to sleep for hours. Going to try taking tablet at night as I have to go work tomorrow and cant cope with this pain at work.

Hey everyone, I've been on Sertraline 50mg for 4 weeks just been to the doctors today and have now been prescribed a 100mg it's a bit crazy because I feel so dizzy and very weird (sick feeling) after taking my first one today. I suppose it's just my body getting used to the higher dose though!

hi i am just going into my second week of 100mg and have to say i do feel a lot better for it. i do sometimes still feel a little woozy but i think that is either cos i have not eaten properly.
