Been depressed and anxious for years, trying CBT now and doctor has suggested sertraline to give me a little extra support while I work through my stuff. Doc says sertraline has fewer side effects than others and might be worth a try. Anyone have any experience?

Hi again
Snap! How many mg did the doctor prescribe? Mine was 50 but half to 25 . It's the 7th day and Only had some side effects yesterday around 5pm , kind of euphoric feeling but cold hands, kibda restless and sensitive. But they passed for the evening and slept fine.
I've taken this drug 4 years ago but was not responsible enough and dosed wrong. As long as you dose it right and slowly it's fine. I would recommend starting on 25mg as 50mg side effects can be a lot worse shakey limbs, vomit, bowel trouble , massive highs n lows. I hope this helps in some . They seem to be settling into my system just fine this time.
Hey again she put me on 50 - I haven't started them yet I feel a bit nervous to be honest and I guess I'm looking for someone to say "yay they're the best thing ever they'll change your life", i've read lots of stories of crappy side effects and it's got me pranging. But hoping for the best! Glad they're going well for you this time around! I've been signed off (amended duties- working from home) for couple weeks so hopefully I can vomit and shake at home for a bit while the meds settle in :S I'll consider the dosage for sure! thanks again! good luck with yours... would love to hear updates!
