Hi,

I have been on Sertraline 150mg for years and it hasn't presented me with any side effects. Don't forget it takes a few weeks to get into the system,

I surmise, like most of us, you are apprehensive about taking drugs, but I find it helped and is still helping me.

I wish you well. Eunice xx

be careful if u mix them with other anti anxiety medication. i did this (on my doctors word!!) and had a terrifying reaction, be careful and maybe get a second opinion. Ive never had a reaction to medication before but i was ready to take myself to the hospital after taking sertraline. obviously it varys person to person

hi friend, i take sertraline for ptsd, it has helped me , i have been on it for 20 years now, but i havent had any side affects , give it 4 weeks to get in your system to start working , but like all medication its not a magic tablet or a cure. i still have the symptoms of ptsd , but are having psychology appointments to help me cope.

take care...
