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 tried that about three years ago.

    Within three hours to my utter surprise I'd "followed though", with no prior warning of such troubles and was feeling weird and unpleasant..

    I discontinued the experiment. MY daughter used it for ages and said it suited her.

    SSRI's do not suit me, on a previous try of Prozac, in 1995 I became "mental" & dangerous within hours, a state that persisted, so I discontinued that drug immediately, again, against the quacks advice, as I preferred to be harmless and miserable rather than "happy" and dangerous to cross.

    At least with illegal drugs you actually get told what to expect, and in my experience, they work as advertised.
