Started sertraline today and Wide awake anyone else?

[WhatAMum01]

Had a numb feeling like a giant marshmallow stuck in my head too,which I actually quite enjoy,my thoughts seem suffocated in my head which I'm glad for.no sleep despite nights if managing in couple of hours and being tired.anyone else?

I'm awake! I also take sertraline although usually I sleep ok. I take it in the morning which maybe helps.

@penguin ahh I took it in the afternoon after some nandos!liking it so far,although only been a day
Did lack appetite, this the same for you?

Snap! But I've had a few gins too and need to be somewhere at 7am for a long hard day. Kill me now!

In the exact same boat

Trazodone not sertraline but otherwise in the same boat.

Bit fed up of the lack of sleep tbh.

I'm on high dose steroids, gave up trying at four and have been up ever since.

That’s not fun Gilead. I think I’m going to need some oral steroids for my asthma this week. Might as well just give upon the idea of sleep now.

I’m a week in and have the nausea .. the headache .. sore throat .. disturbed sleep ... runny nose .. earache ... pretty much the lot really ! Told that the side effects calm down .. hope so

In 3 weeks all the symptoms will pass.
I am on it over a year, I have no issues sleeping.
Bloating and a headache was my biggest side affects they passed after 3 weeks also.

I had the worse night ever after taking it for the first time despite the low dose. Wide awake, super alert, panic attack, then dreadful nightmare. I woke up feeling like I'd spent the night in a spinning washing machine. It was so bad I had to take the day off work. No way I was going to try a second night.

Yet tried another drug that is supposed to have much stronger side effects and had nothing bad with that one.

Yes feeling sick today and actually down ,wish I could live by if you cant change it dont think about it
