since i have been on straline for 4 weeks i am always hungry, it seems to happen when i feel panicky too! does it settle down because it makes me feel as if i will never get used to the drug, i am on 100mg now from 75mg.
Hi Vivienne
It can take up to 6 weeks in settle in.
Im on sertraline 200mg its taken a while but it woking good for me now
It does not give me an appetite but everyone reacts differently to medication
thank you lynne i live in hope
some drugs can increase appetite and I think that sertraline is one of these drugs.
thank you Richard for answering xxx
Hi Vivienne could try valdoxan. No nasty side effects and if it doesn't work u can go straight onto something else without having to taper and wait for weeks. Only thing is you will need to get liver function tested fairly regularly. Best I've tried and that's been a lt! Good luck
thanks jo but i will have a few more weeks on this if not i might try valdoxan.
Hi Vivienne, I have been on several ads over the years but at present I'm on a daily dose of Lofepramine a tricyclic ad which keeps me on an even keel. However I was on Sertraline about 2 years ago and put on weight because I was always hungry and so always earing I can't remember if the ad helped as all I did was eat.
thanks square chin , i have been to docs and she said to go in 2 weeks time as they take 4 weeks upward to get in ur system, so i will see how i go.
