Sertraline Side Effects: Anyone Else Struggling?

All of these SSRI type drugs can take a while to get used to and to reach maximum effectiveness. Also, some people have side effects with one drug but not with another and there's not really any way to tell other than trial and error. I've been on sertraline, Cymbalta, Lexapro and now I'm on Prozac and Wellbutrin.

I had HORRIBLE insomnia as a "rare" side effect but it went away once I cut my dose in half and started taking it in the morning. I had very few side effects otherwise but it did take a month or two to really kick in

Sertraline didn’t help me much, but it was better than Prozac

Sertraline definitely takes a few months to adjust to...I think it took 6 months for me? But once I adjusted it worked great for a long time

i had annoying side effects like shaking and dry mouth. though the shaking is a lot better now, my mouth still feels so dry even after months-- well, i guess i needed to talk to my psychiatrist about it long ago
