Sertraline side effects

So, I started taking Sertraline about a week ago and it’s the devil. It made me so nauseas, restless, and not to mention the headaches. Over all I hated it. I know it’s different for everyone but it was a nightmare for me. Has anyone else has a negative experience with Sertraline?

I did at first, I didn’t get the nausea but was extremely drowsy and felt just weird. I started taking it at night and it leveled out after a couple of weeks. I hope you feel better soon, poor thing 🥺

I started taking sertraline about 4 years ago. I started taking it during the day, I had headaches and restlessness and also nausea and food aversions. Pretty much all the same as you. My body got used to the medication after a while and I was fine, with no side effects anymore.

After a couple years, my body became immune to the medication and so I switched to something new and then I recently started back on sertraline again. I started getting the same side effects again, but they never went away, so I started taking it at night and it changed completely! Maybe try that out or just consult your doctor and they can give you advice on what to do. Also, your body isn’t used to taking it yet. It usually takes about a month, or a little longer, for your body to get used to taking a medication. These side effects may go away after that time.

I’m just afraid to keep taking it, I usually take it in the morning and for some reason I feel weird at night with it. I didn’t take it yesterday and I felt so much better. I work at night so I’m afraid to take it and start to feel weird at work. Also, it makes me so tired and I need to be able to do my job. It’s just a catch 22

Definitely talk with your doctor! Sometimes it can take months to find the correct medication for you!! Best of luck! 🤞🏻🙏🏻

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
