How are you all? I'm having bad side effects with this sertaline :(

[les82]

They are disrupting my sleep, making me feel sick, giving me terrible migraines and also diarrhoea. Sticking with them though as it shouldn't last long. Hope you are all well x

Oh you poor thing? I haven't heard any bad reports about them. Do you take them with food?

Most tablets that do have negative side effects tend to right themselves after a few

Weeks, I never read about the side effects, I think it's not a good thing to do.

The important question is Do you feel any better? But you do need to put up with it for a

While, unfortunately it's the nature of the beast I'm sure you will come right, if not, go

Straight back to your GP and tell him.

Hugs

Feeling okay Hannah. Still a bit agitated and i'm really really tired but i've now got a proper body clock after almost a year on amitriptyline i'm deffo giving them time though as they were fab last time. I take the tablets just before bed x

hi, stick with them, best ive had, and ive tried many :-(, in fact just starting back on them as it was felt i might be better on venlafaxine, i wasnt, made me feel worse, will not let them talk me into changing again as always back to sertraline, had mertazapine these made me suicidal, amytryptaline just did nothing, hope this helps xx

[les82]

Thank you hun. I've bn on fluoxetine, citalopram and amitriptyline and none of them have worked as well as sertaline. The side effects are bearable though so hopefully i will start to feel a bit better soon. X

Hi, is it Sertraline you're on? I have been on 100mg dose since November 2012. Just increased to 150 last week. So far I've had no side effects from this medication. It's a first for me. Hope you get over the side effects, as I think it's an effective drug. I'm also taking Amiriptyline, that is giving me side effects, I would rather only have the Sertraline if I could.

[les82]

Yeah 50 mg sertraline. My stomach is sore every morning, sore heads all the time and i am shattered. I was on the amitriptyline hun but just found that it gave me an uninterrupted sleep. Now i am off it i am up at 6.50am on the dot. 4.50 this morning though. Feeling really irate still and my head is so disorganised. Cant focus my thoughts at all and i am so easily distracted. Could easily sleep all day but two kiddlywinks will not allow this. Ha ha hope you are all well x
