hi all
i’ve been on sertraline 100 mgs for six months give or take, and all has been well.
I have definitly noticed i am more gassy and also very bloated. This isnt something which i want to see the doctor about, but i would be interested to see if other people have experienced this also?
thanks
Lol! Absolutely omg each time I increase dose now I kinda expect it... I get about 4-7days of intense bloat and gas. It's awful but totally from the meds. It does calm down and normally doesn't last that long.
hi , sorry if i am not replying to answer your question . i need reassurance from u as i am on 100 for the second time . i took it for 2 yrs and stopped 2 months as i felt great and myself 100% , now i am 6 weeks in 100 and 2 months in total on sertraline , i still feel edgy and short temper and nervious . when did you feel normal again ? i feel so tight chest and not functioning properly . like scared feeling and intrusive thoughts about what i feel and when will i be good again . plz any advice or reassurance ?
Glad you have been well on Sertraline 100. Dont worry about a bit of wind to be mentally well is all that matters. Try an over the counter remedy for wind bloating.

Thanks for your reply :) I've only really properly noticed it the last few months, especially at night time when i am brushing my teeth and look at my bloated tummy. It is not weight gain - literally a massive bloated tummy. thank you for reassuring me about this
do not worry Dodo - I am on sertraline for panic and high anxiety. I can remember about six weeks in of being on 100 mg is when i started to feel relaxed and panic free, so i think you should start to feel better anytime soon. It was definitly a couple of months after first starting my 100 mg dose that things started to get better for me. I couldnt even get in the car or do the things i wanted to do, the sertraline has changed my life. i really hope things get better for you
great thank you for your words, yes thats a good idea. thank you
thanks i hope i dont need a higher dose . anyway whatever will calm my thoughts down will go for it .
Do you get it at any particular time of the day? I find that a couple of hours after lunch is the worst. I just hope my gas/bloating is simply a side-effect, as this would mean it'll subside at some point.
you and me both. i have had the same thought actually. My tummy is more or less normal when i wake up. then a few hours later i notice it has bloated a lot. i am sure your bloating is a similar thing
