    I’m so happy to read some of these comments where this medication helped them. Unfortunately, it isn’t the same for everyone. I took this when I was 15 for a year and I experienced increased depression, s****al ideations, cold chills, heart palpitations, no appetite, and it made my insomnia worse. I was given other medications to counteract these issues and they just kept upping the dose & nothing changed. It brings me joy that people got the good end of things when that’s all anyone wants - to feel better. Even if it didn’t help me. If you experience what I described, switch to something different, that’s your body telling you it’s not for you. Please don’t keep taking it the way I did. Give it a chance of course but long term on the wrong medication is not good for you.

    I had all side effects when i started but i had them for about a week, then the only thing left was tremor, and by now it's not there for most days, but i literally felt periods of enlightenment, like all of a sudden the lights were brighter, the colors were brighter, and i felt not just good but if for a moment someone scrapped a dirt layer in some parts of my brain. It gets better every day now, since it's nearly my 4th month

    My stomach was a bit upset the first 4 days, but on the 5th day all of a sudden that just stopped and i felt very energetic, almost butterflyish in my stomach with a boost of positive energy. I couldnt stop smiling today. After 3 years of feeling like dying (and now diagnosed with fibromyalgia) i kept saying to my husband i wish today didnt end i wish i could feel like this every day from now on. Is it possible for sertraline to work this fast? Or am i causing myself a placebo effect. I hope i will feel like this forever.

    Psychofarmaseutocals completely destroyed my life for more than 30 years. This is only one , of the succes stories. 10% of the people get extreme side effects and mind altering expiriance,s, with sometimes suiside & hell expiriance,s. Russian roulette. But, of cause, don,t listen to the warnings. There are people with great expiriances on harddrugs. As these ,,medines,, are also. Most of the extreme stories no one hears about, cause for the 10 % circumstances are to extreme to talk about, or in high doses they are to sedated, or just believe, that it,s part of their ,, circumstances,, ... I ones was against drugg use, but never knew, they gave me more extreme and adicted opiates, then I ever knew. Also these with extreme fysical side effects as diabetes, 30 kg weight gain, while i was atletic before, big emotional unbalances, personality shifts, apnea cause of sedation, hormonal disfunctions, fears, panick attracts, traumatic pains, hospitalisations, depression, and even more. But don,t take that serious. Eventhough science and tens and tens of thousands of people have there before, and have warned you. You of cause know it better. And hety, life is just a ,, game,, Unfortunately, there,s a sensuur about suiside and side effects on Manny sites, and also the true story,s of the 10% are so extreme, that they,re only sharing on limeted, restricted sites. So, ... I saw Manny, Manny people during these fases loose absolutely everything they had, and life became, as mine, an extreme challenge. As all
