Hi how long have you been on sertaline? because if its just recent then obviously it takes a little bit of time for tablets to kick in, and if you never had this before you started taking them and then now all of a sudden you do.. then i reckon it is just a side affect of your tablets. If it gets too much for you then just get advice from your doctor and you might be able to take something along side it to ease it. Or... you could just of got a bug? But usually you would get stomach cramps. x

Hi Lourah

I had terrible diahrroea for the first four weeks of taking Sertraline, it cleared up after that. I wondered if I had picked up a bug at first, but it all began at exactly the same time as going on the meds and I realised that within a few hours of taking a tablet the problems would always start. Hope it all eases off for you soon.
