Glad it’s working for you mummyvicki13

It may be that you were eating more because you were feeling anxious and depressed and now the ADs are helping with that.

It might also be because Serontonin is an “upper”

Have a good week 😊

Great news mumyvicki13. Like DaisyRaine says unfortunately sometimes things do go wrong, it must be difficult to distinguish between the actual side effects & the dangerous seratonin syndrome DaisyRaine?But well done mummyvicki13.... hopefully your appetite will come back after this shock to the system with the sertraline . Really pleased for you Flowers

I just wanted her to be aware in case she was going though it. 😊

DaisyRaine90 · 16/10/2017 13:29

I hope I didn’t cause you any worry OP just wanted to check you did not get poorly. But sounds like the side effects are settling and they are working for you 😊

Hey Daisy. You didnt worry me i know sometimes they dont work. I tried a different one a few months ago and it made me violently ill so stopped taking them. These side effects have been mild.

There's an ongoing sertraline support thread called Sertraline Buddies. It's worth a look.

Day 9 and bit of a bad day feeling a bit sick and very anxious. I had a coffee for the first time in 2 weeks so i dont think that helped and had a stressful meeting that probably didnt help either. Hope everyone else is doing good.

Hey, I’m thinking that maybe little one has that diarrhoea & vomiting bug that’s doing the rounds & maybe passed it on to you : (
Although I do sometimes get the runs every now & then. How are the side effects feeling ? Apart from the runs?
