Sertraline buddies - support for anybody taking Sertraline

[buttonortwo]

I eventually went to docs yesterday, been really suffering with depression. Is it possible the medication can result in side effects straight away? I'm feeling sick and no appetite today, however feeling better, clearer... I'm on 50 mg the lowest dose.. Anyone else share their experience please?

Back from the doctor's. I had symptoms of a prolapse and she has confirmed a mild prolapse and referred me for an ultrasound and physio. Also diagnosed thrush. She asked how I'm getting on with sertraline and advised taking a little longer, but happy to increase my dose if needed.I didn't mention cbt. Next time. ..

kazza sorry to hear about prolapse... I have had a couple of friends who had physio for that and it really helped them. Sorry to be nosey but has the thrush only started since taking sertraline? Just that I've had that too recently and didn't make a (possible) connection until now - did she say it could be because of the meds?

It's good the GP is saying to give them a bit longer before upping the dose I think - I've read lots of things saying that it takes up to two months for the full effect to kick in and sometimes even longer than that - how long did she say to give it? And my GP said he would only up my dose if really necessary after giving 50mg a good chance, to keep the side effects to a minimum apart from anything else.

Hope you're feeling ok about it all, anyway

And PS sorry to hear you're up and down today sole. But try to remember ups and downs are to be expected in the early days

Kazza sorry to read that x

i have the runs again x

Not feeling great, feel old and decrepid Find it all very embarrassing and difficult to talk about and scared I'll need surgery at some point which scares me. I want to be young and well again, instead of having so many niggles to worry about.

But on the plus side I have at last seen a gp about it, been putting it off for a while. I have other gynae issues and am totally fed up.

Sorry you have the runs sole, it's probably the increased dose, isn't it?

Yeah, not eating much either. Could be i need to change my diet.

Feeling melancholy, listening to Dionne Warwick at Pebble Mill 1982, Heartbreaker, beautiful on Youtube

Love that song brings back memories.

Lana Del Ray - gods and monsters :)
tuuuune

kazza x post, i feel the same :(

Just keep posting peeps, don't leave me

Not going anywhere sole!

Sorry about your dodgy tummy . You've got me thinking about Pebble Mill now - my first crush was on a pebble mill presenter who had a really big nose . Can't remember his name though...

Feeling ok today btw . Still in shock about the no PMT bombshell!

I won't leave, but don't get much time to post when I'm working. I've got to cover for a colleague again Thursday and Friday but then have next week off as its half term.Hoping I don't get as stressed this week.

kazza that's a positive then - you faced it and sorted it out with your GP .

Sorry x posted Kazza! I meant positive re your previous post

Have PMT, had bad day, told lighterlife consultant i'm on setraline, would i like to view the room so i fel comfortable? prejudice already, silly bitch :(

Oh that's crappy sole - I thought you'd escaped PMT line I had?
Maybe upping your dose is giving you some side effects?

Meant 'like I had'...... Bloody spell check!

I thought I had too, odd, period is here!!

Feel odd, bit low and very anxious today, rambling a bit at car dealer guy, snapped at receptionist and jet garage manager ater guy almost ripped my car door off. shit, shit day PMT i think...

What happened sole?

How did he almost rip your door off? Do you mean he was having a go at you? Feel free to offload on here - sorry you're feeling crappy.

I am still up and down, I think it's par for the course...

Sorry also meant to say - you may still have escaped PMT as you thought - if you've got your period already surely it cant be that? It might just be you adjusting to the meds?

Yeah chuff, feels like PMT, today i feel bit drugged with slight headache. Guy drove into my drivers door. IM ok just tired.

Sitting on a bench watching a swan at the lakes. Perfect

Didn't go to LL class as too much money. I feel better right now, enjoyed my walk arud the lake. So much easier since giving up cigarettes. Somebody asked me if I had lost weight yesterday :)

LL counsellor called me, she is nice :)
