Steraline remuntion conversation

[Katelyn1663]

Hello I’ve start steraline today I’ve been experiencing a lot of rummition on conversations and a lot of suicidal thoughts, same conversations on repeat or songs or my mind reminding me I’m mentally unwell cause a lot of distress and emotional pain as anyone experienced this and has these tablets help positive stories please

It does work but you need to give it time. It takes a few weeks to kick in.

Are you referring to sertraline? I’m honestly not sure what remuntion is, but any initial side effects will be barely noticeable after just one dose.

What do you mean by remuntion? It took a good couple of weeks for me to stop feeling weird and start feeling better…..good luck!

Rumination - thinking about thoughts

Yes sorry sertraline, rumination for months before I took sertraline, in having conversations in head with people and previous conversations on repeat

Hi op. It should help with rumination. I suffer from it and the Sertraline seems to block some of it out. You can up the dose after a while if it doesn’t work at a lower level. What dose are you taking?

I’ve only started 25mg what are you on

50g but you can go up to 200g

I've been on them before recently started on 50mg and it has quietened down the repeat thoughts and looking at these from every angle for days on end.its still happens now and again and need to go up to 100mg been putting that off because of reception at my GP.

I’m on 200 for my OCD and obsessive thoughts.

Hi OP.
I found they really helped me.
I went up to 200mg.

You will experience an increase in symptoms in the first 2 weeks, the first 5-7 days were the worst for me.. I had anxiety about nothing and my stomach was like a washing machine.
however once they settled in my system it was like someone just turned everything down in my head by 50 notches. No rumination. No going over conversations in my head and I just generally felt much more relaxed about everything.
that was my experience and think it’s a wonderful drug. I hope it’s the same for you

Thanks for the clarification; somehow I’ve never heard of rumination as a symptom! I understand what you mean though.

I’ve just tapered down (very gradually and with horrible symptoms) from 100mg to 50mg; I have been on them for over ten years now though, and they have saved me and my family life so I can’t complain. If 25mg isn’t working for you after a few weeks, you can increase the dose to a maximum of 200mg. I hated the way 200mg made me feel, so I wasn’t on that dose for long. I assume you have a follow up appointment booked with your doctor?

Experiences to solving emotional pain come with greater understanding.
