Does anyone take Sertraline?

Hello everyone.

My Dr has prescribed me Sertraline for my panic attacks and depression as it’s gotten really bad recently.

The only other medication I’ve ever taken is antibiotics, twice in my life. 

But, I’ve been on these pills since Wednesday and I can’t sleep, I’m waking up at 4am. I’ve probably eaten one meal since then and had a few snacks, i also can’t help going to the toilet. 
my Dr never told me about any of the side effects.

does anyone else take this? He’s given me a months worth to see how I go and take one tablet (50mg)

how were your side effects and how long did they last?

    Sertraline gave me a vile time in my life. I was on 200mg and was having adrenaline rushes.  

    I was going to GP, A/E, 111 telling them I’m on xtc somethings not right.. the more I went for help the more they increased it. 

    I came off Sertraline and all my symptoms went away, my mind was working again. But then I had to start fluoxetine and now I’m just drained. 

    this is my opinion/experience 

    sleep and none stop toilet problems, dental problems from the adrenaline gern..
