hrt and sertaline

[RayannAbbey]

anyone taking sertraline and hrt? Any interactions ? My anxiety has gone through the roof since increasing hrt

[Mugga04]

Yes I started it almost two weeks. It's Zoloft My anxiety was already through the roof.

What hrt are you taking? How long on sertraline?

This is kind of a related subject, I have been on Sertraline for years with no problems. Then I was put on Fosamax for osteoporosis and I had the worst anxiety attack of my life. Has anyone else experienced anxiety with Fosamax either with or without Sertraline? Thank you all so much.

I started HRT about 5 months ago and I feel like my anxiety is up and down from week to week. I'm switching back to effexor after being on pristiq for several months. Not sure if HRT is causing the ups and downs or that's just my anxiety now. Tried asking the doctor, but no answers. Hope you can find some peace.

How long on sertraline and what dose? X

[BlueAgave in reply to RayannAbbey]

I'm on effexor 150mg for about 9 years.

I took setraline in the past. I stopped because I couldn't tolerate it.

[RayannAbbey in reply to Teaching]

How long were you on it for? How did it make you feel? X

[Teaching in reply to RayannAbbey]

Just for two weeks. I was having serious panic attacks, chest pain, dizzy and restlessness. I couldn't continue because it made me sick.

[RayannAbbey]

are you taking anything else

I couldn’t tolerate Zoloft either when I tried it years ago. I have been on Paxil for many years. A couple months ago I stopped my birth control pill which put me right in menopause (hot flashes, insomnia, moodiness ) I also switched to Lexapro at that time. Big mistake! Made all my symptoms worse! Now I’m back on Paxil and I started HRT and I’m feeling much better. The first week or so of Hrt can be a little rough but it gets better!

Thank you so much x what hrt are you on? I am on oestrogel and the specialist increased my dose and l have been so anxious x did you feel trembly at all and body aches at the beginning? Thank you for replying to me x

[Bimace]

I’m on a 50ug estrogen patch weekly and 100mg progesterone tab daily. My anxiety was a little worse at first but I also attribute that in part to Lexapro. I was also SUPER emotional. It been a month now and I’m feeling SO much better. Hot flashes gone. Sleeping better, anxiety pretty much gone. Like I said I’m also back on Paxil which really helps. How long have you been on Zoloft?

[RayannAbbey]

25 weeks on 75 mg x did you notice any tingly feet whilst starting hrt at all?
