Setraline

Hi, I was on Venlafaxine for 2 years and have been drug free for nearly a year. I had to go back to my doctor recently though and he has put me on setraline. Does anyone have experience of taking this ante depressant and the side effects.

I was on Sertraline before I was on Effexor.  I am sorry your depression has come back.  I had no side effects with Sertraline. 

Many thanks for your reply. I have been on sertraline for 5 days and have had no effects yet. How long was it before you felt them helping? I start 100mg in 2 days time. 

I expect you know that anti depressants take about 6 weeks to have any effect.  It is a long time since I was on Sertraline , but I reckon it must have been about 6 weeks, as all anti depressants usually take that long.  Your dose has been upped quite quickly, so perhaps you will feel better soon.  Take care.  Let me know how you get on.
