I've been on sertraline for about 5 months and if I forget to take my tablet before bed (as prescribe by doc) I have taken in the morning but it has seemed to cause chest pain. . . Being a mum I do have to get up n run about instead of sit and rest like I would do in bed. . . Has anyone else had this problem or can give me advice??

to be honest Cookie I would see a DR for any chest pain! but I admit I am a bit of a worrier now!

Last time I had severe Chest pain I ended up having a chest infection but this pain isn't that severe. Been asleep for a bit and pain seems to have subsided thankfully. Hubby's going docs later, mite see if I can pop along and have a quick word.

Thank you for your reply.

Does this happen every time you take the tablets in the morning? It could be a known side-effect.

Hope that you made it to the doctors and it was useful.

Do you have one of those daily tablet boxes that you could may be put next to the kettle or by the tooth brush to remind you before you got to bed and make sure the tablet gets taken. I know its really difficult to remember to take things - and I just have two cats.

Yes I think it does happen when I take in morning. I've got them beside my bed in order to take at night but been so exhausted I just got to bed and crashed.

I think I'm having a bleurgh week. . .
