Sertraline side eff's how long do they last?

[Mum2G]

took first one today, i know it is different for everyone, but how long was it for you til the side effects settled down? thanks

my sister is on these and she had shaky hands and sweating ,i think she still has that and shes been on them quite a while

I had side effects for about 2 weeks and then they faded as the meds kicked in.
my side effects were nausea and I felt a bit tired early afternoon.
Have a couple of friends on them for PND who found they didnt' struggle so m uch with side effects on these as they did with other meds.

I have taken 2 so far and I'm finding they are really knocking me out. I've taken them at 6.30pm both days and been in bed by 8pm. Last night I woke up for a bit around 11 and felt quite sick. I'm hoping it passes soon.

I found the sickness was worse if I hadn't eaten properly (even a slice of toast helped). I had to switch mine to taking in the mornign as I found that I was not sleeping at night after a while but everyone responds differently really.
i hope it passes soon for you x

Thank u for ur replies. After taking one i had upset tummy, nausea, shakes, sweats, restlesness, very low and tearful mood and felt completely out of it! Haven't taken any more yet since. Hope they work out for u Purpleflower.
