Hi all. I just started on 50mg sertraline today. As the day has gone on, I’ve been feeling quite spacey and a bit nauseous. Is it normal for the tablets to have an effect this quickly?
I was on amitriptyline at university but have been off any kind of medication for about 4-5yrs now
Yes, but the side effects will probably get better as you adjust to the medication. Of course, it can take a month or so for it to help with depression. I've been on a few different antidepressants over the years and have had similar reactions early on. I wouldn't worry about it.
Thank you for your reply! Some skepticism going on in my support bubble about whether I should be feeling side effects this early on, but it makes sense. Thank you!
Usually side effects start early on, but can happen at any time.I hope they go away soon and the drug works for you. Good luck!
I am on both but it’s more for pain management. The sertraline side effects are fresh in my mind as I’ve only been on them for a few months. The side effects you describe quickly went, maybe 1-3 weeks. All ok now🙏🏼🙂
