Sertraline day 5

Good morning,

hoping for some reassurance. It’s been quite a rocky start to sertraline. Head and body have been all over the place. Sometimes I’m elated, sometimes I’m panicking. Sometimes I feel really nauseous, sometimes I’m starving. Cold chills, headaches and body aches. I was hoping that on day 5 I’d start to feel better tummy wise but at the risk of TMI this morning my bowels have been in full force. A lot of sitting on the toilet and actual tummy pain. Did anyone else experience this? Im on this medication for health anxiety and emetophobia (fear of anything relating to vomit) so it’s very much a scary situation for me. Just praying someone can tell me they felt like this and even know im on day 5 this is normal. Thank you so much

Hey! I’m on day 24 now of 50 mg. I can see small positives but it’s also still a bit of a journey. The initial side effects do wear off around the two weeks mark but still have morning diarrhoea, still have occasional nausea and random couple of hours feeling slightly angry (which is new to me, I’m an emotional person but not an angry one haha) bare in mind I’ve just started my first period with it so this could be a factor to the anger. I’m going to keep trying to persevere however my doctors have offered me to start fluoxetine but not going to just yet.

mental health sucks and well done to you for sticking with this. I’m here if you want to chat or rant or have any questions!! What side effects are you experiencing and what dose are you on?

Hey OP how are
you now? How did it all pan out with the Sertraline?
