Well, I have only 1 50mg tablet left. I'm taking 75mg per day. There was a problem with the second script for the higher does of meds. My choices...pay 45.00 for the prescription or wait 72 or...
Hi, Velaineg. I'm doing okay. I've had a bit of an upset stomach for the past day and a half or so. I don't think it's the meds. though. As for the Sertraline, I'm still taking it...75mg a day at 7...
Thanks GBPacker, I'm only at 75mg, so I hope when I hit 100mg that it'll start working for me too since I hear sertraline is the ssri with the fewest side effects....
What did you guys do when you felt the side effects especially the mind zap one. I almost want to panic...the only thing that kept me sane was that I felt no pain and I remembered that someone on...
I didn't feel so great last night. My mind was doing these racing mind warp things everytime I closed my eyes to go to sleep. My head had this light slight dizzy feeling and my heart felt like it...

Hi, I went to see the doctor today. I told him how sleeply 50mg of sertraline was making me. So, now he wants me to start taking it at night as well as up the dosage since 50mg doesn't seem to be...

Day 13 is pretty good. I'm extremely tired. People are starting to wonder how come I keep yawning so much. A co-worker asked me if I had accidently taken NyQuil again. That's what I told them earlier...
It's day 12 and I've felt pretty tired most of the day and like I don't want to do anything so I have to really make myself do it. I was only extremely sleepy for about 2 or 3 hours today. There was...
Well, I think I'll stick with it for now. The side effects are weird but not too scary and it seems to be getting better. I still felt extremely sleepy today but I only had one maybe two of the mind...
Well, it's day ten for me. The first seven days, I took 25mg of Sertraline. I was so nervous that I thought I was having side effects 30 to 60 mins. after taking the drug. It was just anxiety though....

Thanks Lindamine and belleadonna I think I will hold off on upping the dose for an extra day even though I'm really nervous about the wedding. There is an after party later that night that I've been...
I just started Sertraline which I think is generic Zoloft for anxiety. My doc. has me starting on 25mg the first week then 50 then after until the next visit. I haven't seen much in the way of side...

Welcome Back Nanners, How was the food up there? Do you speak Spanish?...
After eating my stomach hurts in waves and sometimes I feel nauseous almost like before the surgery. I tried eating normally as they were giving me normal food in the hospital but it's not working at...

and I'd like to thank Spookyhurst and everyone else for making me feel so much better before the big day on Monday. It wasn't a great experience but it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be....
I might have missed this part but did the catheter hurt coming out?...
SpookyHurst, Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your surgery even though you just got out of the hospital. I feel so much better after reading your post. Maybe I can print it out...
I'm suppose to be having the surgery on Monday. It will also be open. So I can tell you more next week....
Spookyhurst, Could you talk more about your experiences from when you got to the hospital up until you were asleep for the surgery? My surgery(open) is on Monday and I have to admit I'm really...
Thanks again guys. I called my doctor. He said they'd check for the anemia during the pretests the day of the surgery. Wish me luck....
That happened to me not so long ago and it's still happening. Then I stopped eating only having little things here and there with liquids. I lost a lot of weight. I even felt burning in my stomach...

Dagger, I can't really get a second opinion as I can't afford the surgery or have insurance so I don't really have a choice but he did seem nice enough and explained things well except for the fact...
Hi, I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be so tough to be in the hospital for so long. When you said you needed someone to talk to...did you mean someone close to home? or did...
crohnielass, I didn't think about it like that. It was easier to understand too. nanners, I think the blood work might be done the day of the surgery before the surgery along with the other tests....
I'm so sorry that your daughter is going through this. I'm actually eating the Ramen now. I'm not feeling so hot either. I think it has something to do with the bland noodles and salty sauce mix....
Humira seems to be working pretty well for me though I do think it took awhile to get the maximum effect so if you've just started I'd give at least 2 months....
My pretest for surgery is the same day of the surgery since the surgeon who I met with for 10 minutes says I'm healthy and young. Though it does bother me that he seems to not have seem my x-rays, he...
