I've been on sertraline 50mg for 4 weeks now & haven't had any side effects other than morning headaches and fatigue.

I do believe increased heart rate is a potential side effect. If your worried about the palpitations try and see your doctor asap.

Hi Laurenx95,

Sertraline like any other medication reacts differently in each body it's prescribed for.

If your palpitations are new, it's a fair bet that it is a side effect of the drug.

Depending on how long you have been taking the Sertraline for, you might find the side effects settle down over time.

If not, take SoontobeDrC's advice and head back to the doctor for a review. There nearly 20 options available to choose from in the doctor's toolkit. There is sure to be one for you.
