Avatar f tn My doctor prescribed me Sertraline 25mg on top of my existing med. The first day I took Sertraline I got stomach upset and diarrhea; reduced to 12.5mg now. I m suffering side-effects like I'm having a fever(fatigue, sweaty, chills at times). On top of that, my menstruation's cramp is exceptionally bad this time, not sure it was affected by Sertraline. I am not sure this med would help me anymore. Hope someone could induce more positive effects about Sertraline.

9475243 tn?1405300275 So tomorrow I am to start Sertraline. My psychiatrist said to start slow with it. He gave me 50 mg to break in half and take for a week...my question is is it safe to break the 25 mg in half as well and start even slower? I'm a huge baby when it comes to side effects :( but id take 12.5 my for a week then 25 mg for a week then 50mg then I would see him again. Has anyone ever done this? Thanks. Also share experiences if you like.
Avatar m tn i drink about every weekend and i will try and drink in little amounts... its just hard not to drink when people are pushing it at you from all directions and i would usually enjoy it and have a good time.. and i dont wanna tell everyone im taking zoloft everytime someone hands me a drink... so can i drink moderately about once or twice a week and not kill my liver?
Avatar f tn I started sertraline 50 mg 4 and 1/2 weeks ago for health anxiety, general anxiety and depression. Also 50 mg trazadone for insomnia. At the 2-3 week point I was experiencing some improvements- better appetite, socializing again, much less worry, sleeping better with the trazadone. At my 3 week doctor visit he decided to not increase my dosage since I was seeing improvement.
Avatar f tn Perhaps the stress in your life has gotten worse and the previous dosage of sertraline is no longer working for you. You may want to explore an increase or a new medication altogether with your psychiatrist. The important thing to remember is that you have been able to get better in the past and you will get better again, you just need a bit more help right now. Best wishes...
Avatar f tn I also agree that you need to give the 100mg some more time. It's not unusual for a med to take another 4-6 weeks to reach peak effectiveness, after a dosage increase. The good news is, you're seeing some very positive results....so I think it's fair to say that the Zoloft wilkl work well for you. Have you started any therapy?
Avatar f tn how long does this go on for thanks
1352071 tn?1276904138 Whenever I take medications like Sertraline, I do have a few side effects when I start or adjust the dosage, but they tend to go away in a couple of weeks. I would stress patience and keep an open line of communication open between you and your prescribing doctor...keep us posted!
Avatar m tn have have two children 6 and 7 and since taking sertraline 4 months ago i cant feel love for my kids and for a mom it is the realy bothering me, im confused to weather its the med or due to major deprestion cause bith can cause apathy and anhedoia. i do know i would love to cry because how i feel but i cant. i need theses feelings back i feel so empty.
Avatar m tn Is it safe to take one or both of these with zoloft? If so, what dosage? Also, is it safe to take zoloft while taking natural harmones ( cream)?

Avatar m tn I switched to HempPaste last week and I feel amazing! But I want to come off my prescriptions. Any ideas how to decrease dosage until I’m off them completely? My doctor is against marijuana as a treatment and isn't being helpful at all.
Avatar n tn It may be the wrong medication for you and another one is needed or dosage related or a wrong diagnosis but your psychiatrist could tell. Do think back when this started though as that would help them decide what to do.
897400 tn?1303329148 While this offers advantages for tianeptine over the tricyclic antidepressant agents in terms of dose titration, treatment changes and potential drug interactions, its rapid elimination makes adherence to dosage schedules more important. Tianeptine differs from most antidepressants in that it is not primarily metabolised by the hepatic cytochrome P450 system, indicating less likelihood of drug-drug interactions; this is of particular interest for elderly patients.
Avatar n tn I seem to have twitching that is at least in part related to Zoloft (Sertraline). Upon visiting urgent care when the twitching became really disruptive due to its frequency, the doctor first eliminated any neurological disorders by a panel of six or seven blood tests. You may wish to ask your doctor about these tests, to eliminate your concerns about ALS and other neurological disorders. I was taking 200 mg per day of sertraline -- the maximum dose. I cut that back to 100 mg per day.
Avatar f tn Hello Doctor, I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and my GP put me on Wellbutrin XL 150mg. I went back to him at the beginning of January and he upped the dosage to 300mg. Since I had just filled my prescription for 150, he told me to take 2 until they were finished. I didn't have a problem until I got the 300mg pill (January 20). I usually take the pill with food, but it seems that by 1-3pm, I start to get weak and nauseated.
Avatar m tn org/wiki/Linezolid#Adverse_effects Interactions Linezolid is a weak monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), and should not be used concomitantly with other MAOIs, large amounts of tyramine-rich foods (such as pork, aged cheeses, alcoholic beverages, or smoked and pickled foods), or serotonergic drugs.
9266905 tn?1402808881 Hi! I hope you are feeling better! I have so many questions myself and just started a small dose of Zoloft Being on it before I do know it took like two weeks to start really working. I also know that when you increase, it should be in smaller increments. I'm not a doctor but why would he have you double your dose? Yikes? Some of the side effects can cause you more worry! Believe me..... I think I have every deadly thing going on in my body right now.
