Sertraline side effects in children
Common Questions and Answers about Sertraline side effects in children
zoloft
I tend to notice side effects whenever my dosage is adjusted by my prescribing doctor or when I initially start it or taper off of it. I believe that experiencing side effects are two fold with me. One, there were some side effects, and two I probably tended to 'magnify' or focus in on them more intently and decided that any odd feeling was related to the medication when in reality, it may not have been due to the sertraline.
I'm also interested in the difference in these SSRIs. I've tried Fluoxetine and it worked to some extent, but I had to discontinue because I experienced severe dry mouth/throat to the point I'd wake up in the middle of the night and cough for a half an hour (even drinking a full glass of water at bedtime didn't help) and that affected my sleep quality ... Could be due to the high dosage (60mg) I was on ... It took this much for Fluoxetine to ease my depression.
We all react differently to medications and we are all able to tolerate side effects differently. If the sertraline works well for your depression/anxiety, it will be up to you personally to decide if you can tolerate the side effect.
Just don't give up too quickly. I almost did.
Venaflaxine side effects not as bad as Sertraline. Cant remember that I experienced any side effects with Venaflaxine like I did with Serdep.
t really work, or may just have annoying side effects, or even intolerable side effects, such as insomnia, or more often being tired all the time. Either one can happen. (One med kept me awake like drinking 20 cups of coffee. The same med put my mother to sleep for 18 hours.)
Keep hope that there's a medication out there that will work wonders, and keep searching for it, and understand it's normal for any particular one not to work for everyone. Each one works for some.
The most common side effects of Sertraline that you should watch out for are nausea, diarrhea and sleep disturbances, in that order. There are a lot of other side effects listed for Sertraline, but these are the ones commonly encountered. Drowsiness and excessive sleep may be seen with Clonazepam. Other side effects are rare.
I won't be able to comment much on the effects of the initial dosage on your blood pressure, as it differs person to person.
I then started fluoxetine 20 mg, which worked miraculously, with no side effects whatsoever. However, after quitting, I always seemed to get depression back, so I went back on it.I also tried therapy, with no results. After a few years my doctor switched me to Sertraline, and for the first time , I began to get tremor, an annoying peri-oral sensation with some mild jaw tremor and severe bruxism. That was 2 years ago.
So I'm on 50mg sertraline day 4 and on my last night of taking 15mg mirtazapine tonight after being on it a week and one day and feel it wasn't doing anything for me only getting me to sleep at night and feel rubbish the next day it wasn't lifting my mood just hope that these new sertraline will do the job, my main question is why am I twitching all the time?? Is it the mirtazipine or sertraline?
have u taken this med in the evening at all?
Has anyone else taking Fluoxetine (similar to Prozac) experienced side effects? I have noticed some odd changes in the way my body responds to exercise; specifically, excessive sweating. I'm not sure if the medication is directly linked, but in the past year (I have been taking the drug for about 2.5 years) I break into an all over the body sweat very easily, and it has happened even when I'm not exercising.
These are medications that are often prescribed for OCD, anxiety, depression. The sertraline can have side effects. What are you feeling like? I don't want to list side affects because I don't want you to start looking for particular one. :) How much Sertraline are you taking and how much alprazolam do you take during the day?
The side effects was bad!! After a week I went up to 50mg. After 3 weeks the docter increase it to 100mg. But I decided to half the pill and make it 75mg for a week. Then I will increase it to 100mg. The side effects is terrible every time I increase my dose. If U feel it doesnt work, tell your docter. Maybe he wiil prescribe something else. You can google Sertraline.
I used to tolerate Sertraline in my 20's but a few years ago I was started on it again, it made me feel tense, agitated and I lost my appetite. I told my pdoc who was not happy that my general doc had put me anti depressants, because I am bipolar..he took me straight back off them..so i only had about 10 days on them, maybe the side effects would have stopped after another week or so..
I tolerated them well in my twenties but I'm not sure if it was because of the other meds I was on...
It takes about 6 to 8 weeks to know if a an antidepressant is going to work for you. By that time, transient side effects subside and full effectiveness is in place. So, a trial of 6 to 8 weeks of sertraline is what most doctors do. They will stop this if the side effects are unusual or too much.
So, do as your doctor says to see if this is related and if it is not, then you can go back. By the way, are you being titrated up in dose?
m a little confused about your response in this thread Nursegirl6572 - you mentioned above that you had NO side effects when you started Zoloft, but on a different thread you wrote that you did which included tremors. So that's left me questioning the authenticity of your responses :\
That all being said, I started zoloft a little over 4 weeks ago. I'm experiencing the tremors which got worst each time I upped my dose, I'm currently on 100mg.
oral concentrate, oral tablet
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction while taking sertraline (the active ingredient contained in Zoloft) skin rash or hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
