Hey guys!

i have been on Sertraline for a month now…. The first few days were quite rough with sickness but it eased and in general I felt like my anxiety was getting better. However the last week or so, I have noticed I have been feeling abit low on myself and I also have sickness like I had the first few days. I haven’t missed any doses or anything so not sure what’s happening. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi,

Something similar happened to me while on sertraline. I struggled for a few months and hoped my body would get used to them, but in the end I gave up. My symptoms were: nightsweats, right hand tremor, nausea, weight loss, loss of apetite but extreme hunger. My mental health improved, but the physical symptoms were unbearable. Also, I know they were related to the medication because once I stopped them, they gradually went away.

I think you should give it more time and speak to your doctor if the symptoms persist.

What dose are you on. For me, 150mg worked much better than 100 but everyone is different
