I'm really having a hard time with the side effects from taking Sertraline. My vision has been affected, and I've got constant pain on the right side of my head.It feels like my OCD is wose than ever and it's prettty much all day long. I feel lost and could use some advice if anyone has any-thanks so much

Hey,

Yeah, medication side effects are all over the place-what works wonders for one person can turn another into a walking zombie. The doc made their call based on what tehy know about you, but if something feels off, don't wait around. Hit up the same person right away and let them know what's going on. Your eyesight isn't something to mess with, so if seeing an eye doctor tomorrow is too long a wait, head straight for the ER at your nearest hospital.

Didn't work for me either-I switched back to my doc, and thye put me on mertazipine instead. The sertraline just made everything way worse, like I was super anxius and twitchy all the time.

Oh man, I'm raelly sorry to hear about the side effects and everything. Sometimes it fels like increased anxiety is just waiting around the corner before you even think you're statring to feel better. Anyway, when did you start taking that sertraline? Blackcat64013 brought up a good point-definitely make sure your vision gets checked too because sometimes there are other factors at play. I hope everything starts to calm down for you soon and you find some relief.

Hi there, so I've been on this Sertraline thing for around six to seven months now. Honestly, I haven't really fet all that amazinng since day one, you know? But I've just kept going because hey, maybe it'll get better eventually. Lately though, I've started noticing some issues with my vision and it's been bothering me quite a bit lately.
