Hello all, last couple of days my vision has started to get blury. And then today when I went to the toilet I noticed it was really dark brown maybe even black.
Have been on 50mg Sertraline for just over 4 weeks now.
Any help please???
Hi Anthony
Do you take iron supplements as this can cause black stools. Or blood in your faeces can cause black stools. I’d speak to your doctor about this
No I don’t take them, have just come to a doctors now to talk to them.
Good let me know how you get on
They really didn’t seem that interested to be honest. They think I may have an ulcer so have to do a stool sample next time I need to go and then wait for the results in a few days.
Hi, yes I do get blurry vision on and off but I also got it before sertraline, I did see an eye doctor and he said everything looked fine so I think it's just the anxiety that gives me blurry vision.
An ulcer can cause blood to be in your stools but mustn’t be anything serious as I’m sure they checked you over. I get blurry vision, wobbly legs and feel in another world when I have anxiety. For me it eases off at about 2 weeks and in 6 to 8 and starting to feel a bit more like myself. Hope you feel better soon
Has your anxiety gotten better I past the 2 week mark last Friday. Mornings when I first get up are bad.
Yes definitely got better. I have downloaded an app called headspace and I listen to the anxiety management of a morning as that’s when all the negative thoughts run through my head. I’ve just listened to the walking one whilst out with dog and I find it useful
Mornings are the worst but a useful bit of advice I read from Katecogs on here advised to remember that the day will get better so I try and think that too
How long have you been on them this time? When if it does start getting better. I still have bouts of stomach aches somedays
no my anxiety is at the worst its been at so far. Its so bad i cant sleep again.
ive been taking them for 3 weeks. For me the first two weeks are awful then it settles down. ive had this before and i know for me its important to try and carry on with my lofe despite feeling so awful and then one day it justs seems to start to taper off and i can smile again and think phew thank god for that
Try getting an app on your phone that does meditation. Go for w walk and it talks you through ie feel the breeze on your face, what can you see etc. It sounds hard but im on my 9th day and it is helping me
my anxiety gets better in the late afternoon and evening. right now my anxiety is through the roof, even though i went to the gym and ran some errands. i don't want to take another benzo.
i agree mornings are the worst. It does go eventually ive been through it a few times now. I used this site years ago and have come back to it for some words of encouragement. I have enjoyed reading Katecogs words of encouragement.
did you have horrible anxiety when you started im 15 days in
i guess i should take the klonopin if i need it my doctor perscribed 3 a day i have only been taking one
going up to 75mg of zoloft tomorrow spent 2 weeks on 50mgs
you are doing great lynn. You have been the gym and done errands well done. when i first suffered I put my head under the duvet and thought it would pass. My personal experience of doing nothing just made it worse. what helps me is to continue getting up, dressed and do something. You have done well today getting out
