Avatar m tn I am sure that it is the Sertraline because I normally take it before bed and have woke up several mornings with the leftover pain from the migraine I had while sleeping ( before Sertraline I have never had a migraine during the night ). The other evening I missed taking it and took it first thing in the morning by lunch time I had a migraine. Is this something that my system will get used to eventually or can I expect the migraines to continue indefinitely?
Avatar f tn I am currently taking sertraline for mood swings and have been taking it for about 5 years. I also have recently been put on topamax for migraines. I have read about all this wonderful weight loss. If anything I have gained. Could these 2 medicines together be holding me back from losing> I would like to go off of the sertraline.
612551 tn?1450022175 Happily, no serious side effects but the fatigue is also present due to bereavement/grief struggle and that may the main driver for fatigue, Sertraline may eventually reduce that depression-type symptom, fatigue. Welcome any experience on how long it took to notice: 1) benefit, 2) decrease in side effects. Yes, I can search the web but look form the personal touch of a living patient telling of their experience.
Avatar f tn She prescribed me Nadolol (beta blocker) which I have been taking now for about a week, and I am also currently taking 75 MG of Sertraline daily. My headaches have stopped for the most part, but this pain in the top of my head hasn't gone away. It's a burning feeling and it feels like its more my scalp than my head. It hurts to comb my hair and touch my head, kind of like I've had my hair in a ponytail for too long.

Avatar m tn I have recently started sertraline for anxiety and depression, at the same time found I am borderline diabetic. My average level of glucose reading is 154. Can sertraline have any effect on the pancreas?
Avatar f tn Thank you hun for your comment,im going to try and avoid taking them for aslong as i can. I have my prescription so if i really need them,ill get them from the chemist.
Avatar m tn I'm a 30yr old male. I was on Sertraline approx 10 years ago for depression and it seemed to work until a crash. For one reason or another over the years, my treatment has changed several times. It is 2011 and i have found my way back to sertraline. I am currently taking 10mg of buspirone 2x day and 15mg of mirtazapine for major depression and generalized anxiety. I have been feeling constantly tired, apathetic and despondent.
Avatar f tn The best is which one you metabolize better and that works best for you. If you want it for as-needed relief, I would say klonopin isn't as good because it takes longer to work, though it does work longer as well. Klonopin is usually dosed regularly every day, but they don't tell you, of course, that makes it addictive. Never told me. Safer to take them as needed, and for that purpose I'm not sure klonopin is the best because of the time it takes to work.
Avatar n tn To find a well informed answer to your query about the Sertraline-Propranolol combination, you need to look for information/evidence according to the hierarchy. A systematic review (a review of a number of studies exploring the same issue) is considered the best as far as strength of evidence is concerned. Clinicians' experience, case reports and non-journal articles are lower level sources of evidence.

1378381 tn?1444866015 Yesterday I started taking Sertraline 50mg.(Zoloft) It was all good for the first few hours. then I noticed I was overheating (had a heat rash over my chest n arms) and my head was starting to feel like I had a cold. I went to sleep. About 4hours later I woke up with most agonising pressure in my head and jaw. I went through about 2hours of it before taking some Paracetamol. It did seem to help and the headache eased off enough I could sleep. Now i've woke up again.
Avatar f tn Meds work differently for different people. You will likely get a better response from your pharmacist who sees many people taking these meds or the person who prescribed these meds since anecdotal evidence from each person here will not likely apply to your body.
Avatar f tn Currently additionally troubled with palpitations over the last several months, coupled with increased anxiety...new PCP wants to increase Sertraline from 100 to 150 mg for the anxiety... literature suggests that Sertraline interferes with thyroid Meds. Also taking several supplements, and Cozaar; and Ambien for sleep. Am concerned that what I am taking, or increasing anything, will cause further interference with getting stabilized.
