Exactly this. Took my kid to a playgroup today and I was just standing there talking to another mum and my forehead was dripping - just standing there talking. I’m so self conscious of it and I know other people can see it but I’m not happy advertising the fact I’m taking sertraline. It’s getting to the point I’m avoid going out and ‘doing stuff’ because I can’t stand it.
I really hope it works for you and good luck with the fertility treatment.I have now been upped to 100mg. For reference I have cPTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, dermatillomania and disordered eating/bulimia. I also have BPD which affects my mental health greatly.
I need this medicine to work. I've been put on it because my previous one wasn't pregnancy safe and we are having fertility treatment soon. It was supposed to be the second week in December but I've had to defer it for 12w because of my poor mental health.
I need to reach the top of the therapy list to restart EMDR. It was going so well then covid hit.
Love to all from me - I'm a sweaty mess having just woken upI will happily take the sweats if I can find some peace. I'm constantly torn between feeling I would be better dead and being terrified of ceasing to exist.

I have found my people! My leg sweating people
In my experience I got side effects when I started on 50mg and when I increased to 100mg so I don’t know if there would be a huge difference from starting with half or just doing the 50mg.
That is exactly how I've been feeling no lies
Going to pack some extra underwear and leggings in my bag I think
I could have wrote this myself! I have been poorly for about a week now (caught strep a from my child!) but even getting over the illness and before I feel really achy and sore and sick, sweaty but then I eat and I feel better.. but I have no appetite so I’m struggling to eat! It’s a vicious circle but I’m hoping it will be worth it in the end.
Im planning on phoning my GP in the next month to start weaning off but cause I’m on 100mg they’ll reduce to 50mg. Been on them nearly 3 years and want to start trying for another baby so would like to start weaning off it. I know they’re safe to take while pregnant but would just rather be on a lower dose. I’m also really tired on them all the time as well, but compared to how I felt before I went on it would rather be tired.
Same here literally was in the pits of postpartum depression before I started taking them, they do make me tired but would rather be tired than how I felt before.
My dr actually told me to half my dose of 50mg for a week at first. So you’ll be fine x
I felt groggy / spacey for about five days max, and that was on 50mg. So I’m crossing my fingers you don’t experience too much of it. Can honestly say I’ve barely noticed any side effects. Keep us posted and wish you all the best! Signed, a fellow tearful person
Disturbing is definitely the right way to describe it! I do take it in the morning. Guess I’ll just wait and see if they disappear again
My sweating was so bad that my Dr put me on Ditropan which is for people with incontinence problems but reduces sweating as a side effect. I tried other SSRIs and didn't get on with them as well as sertraline so I took that as a compromiseI wake up absolutely saturated every morning! It’s horrendous! I get through so many duvet covers in the laundry now!
