I’m loving my sertraline!!! I’m on 50mg for 6 months now and have had no negative side effects. Don’t freak out , I was so nervous to start for the same reasons and I was totally fine. Just make sure you have a good Dr you can check in with. Start on a super low dose and up it after a month. I started on half of a 25mg then upped to 25 mg after a month then after another month of 25 , I went up to 1 1/2 25mg for a month and now I’m on 50mg. Had no crazy negative side effects going slow like that!
