Glad you're back. Sorry about your med side effects. I had bad side effects to another drug back when, but I never took that one. I'm sure someone here will be able to help, though. Take care.

So sorry your new med is beating you up right now. I have med hypersensitivity, so my heart goes out to you.

That said you may want to google or webmd.com the med, because often there is a settling in period, where initial side effects disappear after a few days when the body adjusts to the med. Finding more info. might let you know about lots of other peoples experiences w/ the med and understand your own experience better.

Also, maybe talk to your pharmacist or prescribing doc. Doc might want to adjust your dosage or etc.

It often takes a lot of juggling to find the right med at the right dose.

Hugs to you. I hope it works out soon.

I'm on sertraline. It's the only one I can take. It's a bit tricky switching meds. Were you on an SSRI before this one? If you were that one will stay in your system for weeks, and this 50 mg. will be too much. Sometimes doctors don't think about this. I've had to go weeks between taking meds. Also, when my doctor increased my dosage, I was more than agitated. I was weird and had tremors. I could express anger, and I had no increase in appetite. Tell your doctor. Maybe this isn't the med for you, or maybe the dosage is too high. One more thing, are you on any other meds that might be affecting the sertraline? Doctors and even pharmacists don't think sometimes. They gave me depakote as a pain blocker once, and I died. Everyone seemed surprised. But if you look it up, it says don't take depakote with an SSRI, or you'll die. We have to be vigil with our bodies and the medicines we put into them. Call your doctor. I'm sorry you're having a rough time.
