[Marymel]

After having my daily medication..sertraline .. my throat starts burning and heavy heartburn..my throat feels like it's on fire.. has anyone had this experience before?

It could be acid reflux....I get that burning feeling too with my acid reflux

[Jazzylove]

Yes I have. How long have you been taking sertraline

Hi, I find that taking it with a large glass of water helps with this, milk also helps. I made the mistake once of not having enough water and it hurt to the point of tears.

Agree with Nicnak, I used to have the same problem after taking Amitriptyline,- drinking a lot of water after swallowing sorted it!...easy and simple when you know how!!!!

I get a repeat prescription of omepraole 20m,g capsules to alleviate heartburn and acid reflux because I have a condition called Barrets Osophegus which left untreated causes me a great deal of pain. It is also available over the counter under a brand name but is more expensive than having it on prescription.

Thank u all for ur feedbacks..

Do you take them with food? I was told by my doctor to take both my sertraline and my Painkillers/anti inflammatory (naproxen) with food as they are known to cause indigestion, acid reflux, and other stomach issues. He also said if I have any of these issues to go back and he can prescribe me something for it.
