Re: Sertraline
[QUOTE=Dee62;2000150) I hate taking anything, even paracetamol, so this is a big thing for me and I get anxious just thinking about it.[/quote]
Pill phobia is the freebie many of us along with our primary anxiety disorder, Dee. I'd have much preferred the steak knives!
Seroxat - well, I remember feeling so poorly, couldn't function, sickness, diarrhoea. This was after a few months. I told Dr who said stop taking them immediately, so I did. Probably not the best advice and no ongoing support either.
It is rare for side-effects to begin that late. And, yes, definitely not the best advice. Sigh!
One thing I have noticed is that both times I've taken them so far, my throat feels sort of mucousy, for want of a better word. I get the same when I've had antibiotics. I guess it's nothing to worry about?
I don't think it a cause for concern. It's better than the dryness of the mouth and throat and of other mucous membranes that some experience, imo.
