Sertraline for the second time

[geologyrocks]

Hi all,

Yesterday i restarted sertraline after a 2 month gap. I am 5 months postpartum - was feeling ok until last week so went to the doctor today with a view to start again. Ive to take 50mg for a week then back to the 100mg.

My anxiety def isnt what it was before when i started the first time but its there. The first time i took it it dod work miracles are three weeks then after 2 months i went up a 100mg dose which was perfect for me. Im jyst wondering would the side effects be the same - loss of appitite, lethargy, weight loss and feelings of hopelessness...they were awful at the time and id like to be prepared if ive to go through that again!

Shameless bump

Hi
I tried to start sertraline again after a 12 month gap.
The side effects were so unpleasant that I stopped them
I only gave it a week.
I hope you have a better experience

I couldn't stick with it because of side effects: suicidal ideation and nausea. I did however have great success with cbd oil (and no side effects).

Funnyfishface did you have the side effects the first time around? I had a post at the time i started taking them and i dont even want to read back - the way they made me feel was horrific but i stuck with it and felt ok then after approx 3 weeks

Hi
The first time I was on citalooram for a year - side effects were awful. 12 months in my doc switched me to sertraline with no weaning off one to start the other. So for a week I was taking diazepam to get me through - no huge side effects - I was still able to work

Second time I had tummy upset, night swears, dizzy, couldn’t function properly. I gave up after a week.
I do think I would be better on something. I’m moving house next week which I’m finding hugely stressful.

What is cbd oil ? Cannabis oil? Can I ask which brand and strength did you get
