How should I feel after taking sertraline (SSIR) anti depressant?
Hi,
I have always been reluctant to take any sort of anti depressants. However my depression has been up and down for 7 years and I felt I needed to do something.
My doctor has put me on 50 mg of sertaline to take once a night and will eventually increase to 150 mg over a period of weeks.
I have read the leaflet and some online threads that the side effects are bad in first couple if weeks before il even out again.
I have just taken my first pill. And wondering how am I suppose to feel? Is it meant to chill me out like valium? A m I meant to feel high? When do I feel something?

You should feel less anxious, less fearful, less irritable after a couple of weeks. First two weeks taking any mind-altering drug may result in strange dreams as the brain adjusts. You should check online for all drugs prescribed to you. I always go to several sites.

It takes 3 weeks for them to work. You should start to feel better then.
I wish you well sweetheart.
It's been 4 hours and I feel horrible! I have a massive migraine I feel sick I keep retching and even though I'm exhusted I'm still awake. This is utter hell.
