" i was on it - just took myself off.
for the first week or two your friend might start feeling nauseous, maybe slightly dizzy, and not have much of an appetite. but that goes away !
also for the first few days your friend might feel quite down - but that too should lift !

" I've been on Zoloft for a few years now.
This med has helped me tremendously

haven't had any side-effects.

" Just started taking Sertraline today. Feel a bit of nausea, dizzyness and a headache but it was the same when i started on citalopram. That only lasted a few days, hopefully it will be the same case this time. "
