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?

  • Blimey, reading this thread is truly terrifying.  I wish the medical professionals would quit trying to force these things on me.  I am NEVER, EVER going to give in and take them.  No matter how bad I might be feeling, ANY side effect, ANY at all would send me over the edge.  

    But then I'm a medical phobe, I guess.  And you can't expect to give a medical phobe anything with such scary side effects and not expect to make them worse.
