Just wondering if anyone else has been prescribed setraline and what their experience has been. If they found it helpful and how do you know when you are ready to reduce your dosage and maybe come off them?
I was on it for about 18 months, after a sudden bereavement and work was horrendous. I was worried about side effects but aside from really vivid dreams, they didnt affect me too much when I started out on them. I didnt seem to benefit very much from them, and although I dont know what I expected, I now feel no different without them. The Doctor told me I was depressed, they gave me Sertraline and sent me on a stress management group I hope they work for you- I know some people have really benefitted from antidepressants.Just wondering if anyone else has been prescribed setraline and what their experience has been.

Do you mean fluoxetine (Prozac) or flucloxacillin, which is an antibiotic?Sorry I know this is about sertraline and I know a few people on it who seem fine with it but I was put on fluoxicilin not sure if spelt right and I seem to be the only person I know on it, what are the difference between them if anyone knows?
My partner is on setraline, has been for 2 years and helped save his life. he has just lowered his dose, he felt he was ready to do this because he hadn’t had any ‘down’ days for a long time, and coped really well with it. In the beginning the side effect were awful but apart from that it’s really helped him.Thanks for the replies everyone. I was just wondering because I've always had trichotillomania but I feel I have a lot less control of it since I have started the tablets.....maybe because I'm more relaxed and less alert to when I've gone too far
