I googled this:

Nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, loss of appetite, increased sweating, diarrhea, upset stomach, or trouble sleeping may occur.

that's not good, then you should talk to your doctor, because it's their job to make sure the benefits of a prescribed med. out weigh the side effects.

The benefits will outweigh the side effects..it just takes 4-6 weeks for the side effects to go away and the med to start working.

My side effects last until the 5 week and then they went away and I started feeling great.

Use the search feature and type in “sertraline” and you’ll fine a ton of posts on it here. There is some good information in all the previous threads that’s will give you information.

I used to be on sertraline, Had very bad side affects now on 10mg citalopram and feel fine, I must add i was ok before i took these tabs, Mine are for chemical imbalance. Not for a bout of seriouse depression. These tablets take a few weeks to get people feeling better. Consult you docter Gerrerd.
