New side effects on Sertraline

[crackpotty]

Hi I’ve been on Sertraline for almost 8 weeks..I recently started with eye problems..itching watery and pain in one eye .

Is it normal to develop new side effects so long into the medication??

Hi crackpotty and Welcome to our Support Group.If you have been doing well on your medication for the last 8 weeks,

I would tend to say that you have reached full efficacy of the drug.

I am not a doctor but it sounds like you might be suffering from

"dry eye". If this continues, seeing your opthamologist to determine

what the cause is warranted.

Good Luck on your success with Sertraline. xx

In 21 years of Sertraline I never had eye problems, any eye issues I may have had were from allergies or pollen or some outside irritant.
