Extreme bloating on Sertaline?

Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm 3 months postpartum so my stomach muscles have obviously separated and everything is saggier there still. But after birth it all went down to a point and in recent weeks I've been so ridiculously bloated I look 6 months pregnant again!

I have been having bad headaches, jaw clenching, fatigue and general feeling like I'm coming down with something. I'm pretty sure these are all Sertaline side effects as they started when I did and never left.

But I can't see bloating listed as a side effect anywhere? It's just so exaggerated and uncomfortable. I've tried cutting out things I think may cause it but it's constant so I assume related to the SSRI.

Interested to hear if anyone else has had this?

The side effects are unpleasant but nothing compared to the first two weeks. But either way Sertaline saved my life, so I'll be sticking with it until 6 months which is around 4 months more.
