He has prescribed me sertraline 50mg for 2 wks, with a follow up telephone consultation in 10.
I don't know if anyone has any experience with this med, ie best time to take etc
And thanks so much guys. It is the first time I have used this site or anything like this but it's you guys that make it an amazing experience. Thank you

Hello there Ibby,
I do not know about meds. I tried them once and was taken off of them because they made me way worse. Since then no meds.
But I wanted to say hi. I hide away a lot here but just popped in to say
Hi Mira
I'm open to giving it a try.
Thanks for msging
Being open to try is already very good. I would be too.
Sertraline is a very common antidepressant. Side effects tend to wear off after a week or 2 and it can take 4-6 weeks for them to reach therapeutic dose and for you to feel any benefit, the same for any dosage increase. If you can't cope with the side effects then please go back to your GP. And if this one doesn't work for you, please don't give up. Sometimes it takes trying a few different ones to find one that works for you. It's very trial and error I'm afraid.

Hi Ibby I take Sertraline 100mg. I take it in the morning. When I first started it it made me a little nauseous for a short time each day but it was bearable. It soon settled after a week or so. I think they recommend you take it early in case it disturbs your sleep. It's just easier for me to have it with breakfast so I remember.
Everyone is different and different meds affect people differently so just keep an open mind, keep a note of any side effects and try keep a track of how your mood is. Any problems just get back to your GP. Don't stop them without talking to your GP. It can take up to 6 weeks before you may feel any different on them. I also find it useful to tell someone that I'm on New meds and ask them to let me know if they feel they see a change in my mood /anxiety as sometimes we are the last person to really notice a change. Anyway, I'm like you, not an expert, just my own experience. Hope it goes well for you.

Thanks for the advice. Will keep you posted
I am so glad you went and were open and are willing to try the meds and the talking therapy. That's hugely positive...
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
