Avatar m tn 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 m tn When the pancreas doesnt work as well as it should, the body starts to burn sugar from the body fat (type II diabetes) or doesnt get enough insulin (Type I diabetes). Diabetes is an autoimmune disease and you CAN have thyroid issues and also show positive for diabetes. If you have one autoimmune disease, it is possible to have a 2nd one too.
Avatar n tn did not want to take responsibility for that area of my health) I have a follow up on my change from 50 mgs of sertraline to 100 mg and a decrease of wellbutrin of 300 down to 150 a day in 2 weeks. The sertraline has taken my already somewhat lack of interest in sex to a null completely. I know this is a side effect, pretty common one.
Avatar f tn hi, I've been suffering from periods of depression and anxiety for the last 5 years. To cut a long story short it came to a head last month and decided to start a course of Sertraline (50mg). As most people taking anti depressants would say it takes 1-2 months to get the benefits and also putting up with possible side effects. I personally had the side effects of extreme tiredness/ lethargy, lack of motivation and slight Nausea.
Avatar f tn ve taken a couple of meds that made me want to move my mouth or lick my lips all the time. My Dr told me to get off them and once I did those weird side effects went away.
Avatar n tn At one time I also took a BP medication with it due to high BP and with no problems. Although with lifestyle changes I was able to get off of the BP medication. Pharamcists will not fill a presciption that will interact with the other, they will call your doctor. You can call your pharmacist and ask him about the two medications, they are most knowlegeable when it comes to drug interactions. Take care.

1709162 tn?1314084832 It takes a couple weeks to adjust to it. Nothing like starting from square one. If your worried , get a cardio stress test and echo cardiogram to ease your mind. Be well.
Avatar m tn Just to be clear she lets me do it and I've been doing it since I was like 15 and I'm 20 now. I have NEVER had the urge to abuse them nor will I EVER abuse them. Can you please answer my original question?
Avatar f tn Hiya Sheryl, my doc tried me on this several months ago and i found 50mg extremely strong, the first tablet made me as high as a kite. I told my doc and he said to half the tablet and to take it in the morning with breakfast. To be honest it sounds as if your having an allergic reation to this drug.... trouble breathing and intense icthing are two of the classic signs of allergy.
Avatar n tn Is it possible I will get used to this dose eventually and go back to not noticing it? Should I consider decreasing to 200 if the side effects remain bothersome? I know my doctor wants me to endure the side effects if I get benefit out of this dose, but to be frank I'm not sure it's worth it if this tingling doesn't subside, and I'm having my doubts now that it's been six weeks. Maybe it's all mind over matter?
1910757 tn?1348683319 Because of depression I was already underweight, so my psychiatrist decided to switch me to Sertraline instead, to keep me from losing more weight. The first week I still had some nasty adverse effects like insomnia, sweaty hands and feet, lack of appetite and insomnia. I also stopped taking Clonazepam during the day, but instead I stared taking 0,5 mg and 5 mg of Zolpidem at night, which has helped my sleeping patterns.
612551 tn?1450022175 Talking to myself? Now 8 days on sertraline and still fatigue side effects, an no noticeable reduction in my troubled ruminations. I will go to the full 50 mg on day 10, and if things get no better I'll ask my doctor for advice. Others have told me it takes a couple of weeks, so I should give it at least that long.
Avatar m tn yep i just took the one pill ii went to bed then woke up with a pounding headache this headache lasted all night then about 6 in morning had to dial 999 i took a turn for the worse my whole body was shaking my heart was beating very fast it was difficult to breathe i went to hospital they done a few tests n checked me out my heart rate was a lil fast 100-120bpm and blood pressure was very high 97-112bpm i do have a high temperature, they say its ok to stop the pills since i only had one.
Avatar n tn I've been on medication for anxiety and depression most of my adult life - I'm 70, so that's a long time. Most of that time I've been fine. Last summer, the meds I'd been on for 3 yrs (citalopram) stopped working. By the time I realised that's what was happening, I was a mess - anxiety sky-high, depression the worst it's ever been. The GP put me on sertraline, which took 2 months to kick in, and referred me to a psychiatrist.
Avatar n tn I have BPD and am on Depakote, which is dangerous to the fetus, sertraline and am doing 12 months skills for living therapy as well as high blood pressure, pressure type 2 diabetes and a cyst on muscle ovary that's been there for 3 years. Anyhow as the heading says I'm on the waiting list for a tubal sterilisation but I'd love to be pregnant again. Only thing is my husband is dead against it.
Avatar m tn s the better choice for now) and she told me to take sertraline for a month to see If I get the wanted improvement. That was some time ago, I didn't take the sertraline then because I felt kind of scared about it because I read it is an antidepresive and I'm not depressive. Later I talked about it with a couple psychiatrists on the internet and my psychiatrist, they all told me not to be scared about it, they told me it was just to help something related to serotonin.
Avatar f tn They typically go away once you are at a therapeutic level for a while which is at about 6 to 8 weeks. And they gradually get better as you get used to the drug. This is why slowly increasing the dose helps. So, I think this is a reasonable plan. However, I do agree that you are at risk for a pretty crummy month. Plan for it and cut yourself some slack.
Avatar f tn t working as well as it should to the sertraline itself. There is a wide list that can cause this. While it can be related to heart disease, I assume since you've spoken to your doctor, you've been examined and this is ruled out? If not, please take that step. An EKG, electrocardiogram or wearing a holter monitor would hopefully answer that question if your doctor feels it is appropriate to take that action.
Avatar n tn I take sertraline too..it's the generic for Zoloft. It has helped me SO much. It should help you even more the longer you take it. It takes about 6 weeks to take full effect! Glad you're feeling better!
