(Newest replies first)

Hi I took 50mg of sertraline on Saturday and felt a bit ill then took my second tablet on the Sunday and it made me feel terrible high levels of agitation I was really bad thought something was gonna happen i felt that bad. It's now Wednesday and although I feel not to bad I still feel the drug is in my system after only two tablets and get waves of weirdness come over me it comes and goes i get sweaty hands my pupils are small slight blur on vision still too just not right but better than I was. How long does it take before the tablets leave my system so I can feel normal again ??as I can't drive or work at the moment any help from someone who knows would be appreciated thank you

Thank you so much for replying Steven. This gives me some hope, and I really need it right now. I've had to call into work today, and am not even sure how I'll get through the day at home. I have moments of feeling a little better, then I'll get another wave of warmth, anxiety, etc. It's truly hell. I also have two young children and I'm having trouble caring for them. Does it get better day each day? I'm not really feeling the "better" yet...this is insane. Feeling like I will never take a drug like this ever again.

The sertraline has a half life so 50mg after 24hrs 25mg will still be in your system and so 24 hrs after 12.5 mg will still be in your system and so on. It's a horrible drug but to reassure you yu will feel better as soon as every last mg is out of your body I really feel for you as I suffered the exact same it took a week for me to feel normal but I had 100 mg in my system. Hang I there it will pass I promise

Hi Alan - did your effects after quitting last long? Are you better now? I only took one 50 mg pill and am still suffering bad effects 3 days after stopping. Terrible anxiety, warm rushes through my body, feeling cold and shivering, cold hands and feet. Just woke up randomly an hour ago at 3 am in a complete panic and can't go back to sleep. Plus I overall just feel weird, like I'm not myself. Will this go away soon?

I know exactly how you feel my friend. Please stop taking them. Ride out the storm for 5 -7 days and you will realize you are human again.

Hi you can email me {edited for privacy} if you want to. I have just recently stopped (I hope) taking these monster pills. Please stop taking them. Doctors hand them out like sweets. It will be hard at first but you will be normal again and have proper feelings in a couple of weeks I promise. You may have the odd ping in your head, but hey, do you want to be you or a zombie?

It passed took a week but thankfully it passed as it was a terrible experience. I talked with doctor and he said that I must have had an allergic reaction to the tablets. As you can see this was a while ago now but thanks for your reply

It shouldn't take too much longer, if you only took 2 doses. Things should return to normal pretty fast.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, anxiety, mood swings, dry mouth and weight gain.

Have you consulted your doctor? You may want to speak to them about trying a different medication?
