Im taking sertraline HCL 25mg does anyone eles take these and if so what are the effects? Or in other words does anyone have a good report on these. I was reading online and there isn't really anything positive about them. My doc says it will take about 6 weeks to work and even then it may get worse before it gets better.

Hi CubanGirl, I take sertraline too. I take 150mg. You have to be prepared to feel worse for a while, it can make you more anxious and feel worse but it does settle down. Just stick with it and believe the process. I think it has helped me lots and I really hope it works for you too xxx

Hi , I never took any medication for dealing with anxiety and depression as I feel it's just the doctors way of hoping the problem will go away . There is no need for medication when you are educated on the underlying nature of the problems.

Take a look through some of my old posts if you feel so inclined. I've been on it around 8 months and have experienced probably everything under the sun while taking it. Although you might not want to, as it could cause symptoms to manifest.

I’m not trying to freak you out but it made me suicidal. I know people it worked for as well and it became their only answer. Everyone takes to it so differently, it’s worth giving it a shot. If you end up suicidal though or having thoughts tell your doctor. I made the mistake of letting two suicidal episodes happen before coming to the realization I shouldn’t take it anymore and flushed them all.

Have taken 150mg Sertraline for about 4 months worked for a bit but then anxiety depression deepened. Now on venlafaxine, so far so good. However, it does make you wobbly to begin with, but as medicines they affect people in different ways. Hope it helps you.
