Sertraline "I was put on 25 mg, the lowest dose, mind you, personally, it destroyed my stomach. The first day I took it, I was so nauseated and had the worst diarrhea, which is a common side effect, especially after first taking it. I have been on Celexa in the past and never had such stomach problems like I did with Zoloft. After 1 day, never again. To each their own, though. Wouldn’t recommend-especially if you have a stomach that is sensitive or if you have IBS."

Sertraline "Started off on 25 mg. Noticed physical side effects but were easy to deal with. After a week, I moved up to 50 mg. Anxiety spiked after I took it, but I have been/am in therapy, so I knew how to handle it. Did make it worse than before, to the point where one night I had to try and put off a panic attack for an hour. The next night after taking it, I got so suicidal. That was the last day I took it, but it was still in my system. For the next 2 days, I still felt it + considered crashing my car. Part of the reason I was put on this was suicidal thoughts + Zoloft made it SO much worse. Will never touch again unless it's to burn it. Almost everyone I've talked to who's been on it said it was the worst experience of their life. Congrats if you're a part of the 1% this pill actually works for. CNP told me out of 500 patients she's prescribed it to (she was biased since it worked for her) only 2-3 ended up feeling suicidal. Well, she can now make that lie 3-4."

"I have suffered for 25 years with PMDD. I was diagnosed 9 years ago and was put on fluoxetine, but did not find it helpful. It was too ‘numbing.’ I recently started sertraline and have seen very positive results - hardly any side effects, the first 48 hours a little nausea, a rushing sensation, and teeth grinding. But since then, I have felt calm, rational, and clearer thinking. Even when I have felt a little bit of premenstrual annoyance, I have felt in control and more rational than ever before. I have spent years dreading/fearing my periods because of my behavior, thoughts, sadness, and issues with food around that time. But I have never felt so ‘normal’ as I do today. Every SSRI is different for different people, but this has worked very well for me. I take it just before I go to bed, so I don’t experience the peak during working hours, etc. I also tested it while not at work to see how I responded, as I have had some awful reactions to antidepressants before."
