Does anyone take Sertraline?

Mark

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?

  • I have been on this in the past for depression. The first pill, I was awake a total of 25 hours! It did get better, and things did settle down. I would say it took about 8 week to even out, and by about 11 weeks I felt them working. I would recommend eating small regular snacks. What time do you take them? I had mine at 9.30pm. I always took it with a small glass of water and half a digestive or cracker. That certainly helped any stomach issues.
