Sertraline support

Hi.. I'm on day 3 of taking sertraline for depression and anxiety.. I'm feeling pretty strange and thought it would be good to share and compare and basically just support other people in the same boat.

Also after a bit of advice.. I work 5 days a week in a very busy very sociable butchers shop which I'm finding hard.. Is anyone else working whilst taking the AD.. If so how are you finding it?

please may I join? I'm on day 4 of taking this and feel completely spaced out. I'm on 50mg. what's the best time of day to take it?

Hi Smile

I was taking it at night, but I read that it was better taken in the morning. I was sleeping appallingly and I do wonder if the sertraline was partly to blame.

I've taken one citalopram. Feel queasy, but hey ho.

I suppose I need to find a citalopram support thread now...

Hi Manchester,

How are you doing now on the citalopram.

Any better than you did on the sert.

Hi all hope it's ok to join and ask a question please?
I'm on setraline over 2 years now and I'm working term time only with a 3year old DS, yet I find I'm so tired all the time. Like really tired. I went on it initially for pnd and anxiety and while the pnd has lifted I still feel anxious about the small things. Not ready to stop taking it yet!
Apart from the tiredness, no other side effects.
So my question is, is there an alternative to setraline that doesn't make you drowsy or put on weight?
Tia.

Hi guys, I've been taking sertraline for 8 weeks now. I have bad postnatal depression. I'm currently taking 100mg but I'm still feeling really flat and low Most days. Has anyone taken 150mg? I feel scared that it's really high and I'm the only one who will need such a high dose?
