Yes! Been on for 9/10 months the dreams were crazy at the start then seemed to dip off and now in the last week started again, so odd.Is anyone else struggling with the dreams?
This is so normal. It’s called emotional blunting and I had this quite significantly at the start. Some days now I feel numb even though I have shit going on that I needed to cry over. I have to say it does get better but maybe speak to the doctor if it’s bothering you too much xI started on 50mg of sertraline 2 months ago, start my third month tomorrow. For the first 2 weeks I felt like I was in space, very spaced out, headaches, nausea and my eyes were bright red. This has very much eased but now I feel dead inside, I have zero emotion, I'm bothered about things but just feel like I can't feel anything. To go from crying every day to now nothing feels very alien to me. This is concerning me as I want to at least feel human. In terms of my mood, I feel better at least. I'm also struggling with my sex drive & being able to climax now which I've had no issues with previously.
Do you take them am or pm?Is anyone else struggling with the dreams?
Very normal symptoms, especially at the start! I felt exactly the same about two months in (think I posted on this thread worrying just like you!) but it did improve for meI started on 50mg of sertraline 2 months ago, start my third month tomorrow.

This is the only side effect that persists for me almost two years down the line! I am constantly warm! I drove to work with my window down this morningFolks, I moved from lexapro to sertraline a few weeks ago, currently at 100mg dosage. I cannot get cool, I went outside in a t shirt earlier (Ireland in January cold!) which is incredibly unlike me. I know sertraline sweats can be a common side effect but this isn’t so much sweating as just feeling overwhelmingly stifling warm at all times. I got night sweats on lexapro, but never this draining daytime overheating. Has anyone else experienced this? If I’m struggling in winter, how will I survive summer!?
Honestly I might rather be sad, this is almost unbearable.This is the only side effect that persists for me almost two years down the line! I am constantly warm! I drove to work with my window down this morningSummer is pretty much unbearable for me but luckily I work somewhere with amazing aircon so I only have to suffer at home or on nights out!
Me. when I first started taking Sertraline the dreams I had were mad, like I couldnt make them up if I tried and they freaked me out. Im cutting my dose now (I take 25mg a day and I feel like I could come off them), but I stupidly started taking 25mg every other day (so cut my dose by 50%) and the dreams came back. so I'm now doing two days on, one day off for a few weeks and will then reduce it again. I've been on it for years so I plan to come off slowly.Is anyone else struggling with the dreams?
citalopram worked for me when I had depression but didn’t touch the sides for anxiety and intrusive thoughtsNot sertraline but has anyone tried citalopram?
I keep slurring my words and have struggled to keep my balance since I started it. I switched straight from duloxetine.
Maybe I'm just health anxious but idk if this is a cause for concern or if it'll go away in time.
I feel horrendously nauseous as well. I just don't feel okay mentally or physically right now.
I found the exact same thing! I was given it for depression ten years ago and it didn’t really do much for me (as well as awful side effects!). But now I know it was anxiety and OCD causing the low mood - trying Sertraline instead worked so much better for me as it sorted the root of the issue!citalopram worked for me when I had depression but didn’t touch the sides for anxiety and intrusive thoughts
