well its been the 2nd night on the setraline, and its been a nightmare!!
the first night was fine,
i take 50mg at around 6pm
before going to bed talk about mood swings,i was like a bear with a very sore head,being very aggressive,
last night i could not get to sleep at all,
as i was keeping my partner awake i decided to try and sleep on the couch,with little joy,my tummy rumbled all night,and i had some real scary dark thoughts as i lay there and felt real anxious that i may do something silly,
it scared the crap out of me!!!
this morning i have a headache as i have done on and off for the past nigh on 10 days now,
but i do feel a little more settled,
whats going on?
I took sertraline for the first time last night. 100mg and I woke up at 2am having the most almightly panic attack, my heart was racing and I had thoughts that I was going to \"lose the plot\". I got up and went to the bathroom but was walking like a puppet on a string, when I got to the bathroom I felt like I was going to have to crawl back to my bed - I was totally out of it. I was wide awake from 2am-5am,restless and my legs were wriggling all night! I am now at work and feel very shaky, my body feels like I am very mildy shivering... I have called my Dr and asked her to call me back. I dont think I will dare take a 2nd tablet.. I feel teerrible!
hi it is now the afternoon
and i feel ok
this morning i felt out of it
when i took the dog for a walk i felt as if id smoked a joint!!!
and i havent done that for many years,
will take my tablet later in the evening tonight to see if that makes a difference to my sleep,
it was scary though last night very very dark thoughts and also anxious like you
Pleased you felt better this afternoon, I felt \"stoned\" all day as well!! I feel less zombie like, but a bit shell-shocked from my panic attack I guess - have never felt anything like that before. But... my Dr called me and was lovely, they said what I described is a definite bad reaction/panic attack and they reassured me I wasnt losing the plot! I decided I didnt want to risk a 2nd tablet and my Dr has taken me off sertraline and now I have Fluoexitine - 20mg a day, which I have been on before. Bizarrely my Dr told me I have been on Sertraline before (4 years ago) but they put me back on fluoexitine as I asked to come off sertraline as I had restless legs at night..I do not remember having any of the other horrid side effects I had last night/today though! I really hope you are ok tonight and the side effects fade.. 
How was the 3rd night? I had a perfect nights sleep on my fluoxtine..and feel fine today! No more stoned, zombie behaviour!! :shock: Really hope you are ok as well..
well i slept pretty well,
i have felt good today,kind of energized and not so tired,noticed when i took last nights setraline i had a headache around an hour or so later,
but i am not so anxious
prior to taking this i could not do small tasks without stressing myself out,
3rd day and feeling good,
hope you feel good 2
Good, I am pleased you are finding they are working and the side effects arent so severe! I guess it takes time for the body to get used to the new chemicals.. I have felt a lot calmer today and found myself not stressing like I have been, I can now feel an air of \"oh well never mind\" instead of \" :bleep: \"!!! Good luck with everything and I am sending you lots of calm and happy thoughts! :D
peas and love to you too!!
who said drugs are bad for you!!
take care and god bless
