I have had the Sertraline in my system for 24 hours so wanted to share the side effects so far. Sleep will play a big role in your recovery, so; can SSRIs cause strange dreams? If you are prescribed sertraline/zoloft and want to learn a little more about the journey then I am hopeful this video will help you know what happens when you take an antidepressant. One Day of Sertraline and some side effects have started to show; strange dreams, dry mouth and exhaustion but no upset stomach at the moment! Phew!
When you first start taking any antidespressant you are likely to be given an SSRI; this class of medication includes Sertraline, Prozac, Citalopram, Escitalopram etc. and stands for Selective Seretonin Reuptake Inhibitors. The confusing thing is that they often go by Brand names e.g. Sertraline is often called Zoloft. This sometimes makes it hard to find support when you want advice about taking antidepressants.
Whilst my all my experience with antidepressants is using Sertraline (Zoloft) it works in a similar way to other SSRI medication so if you have just been prescribed antidepressants and you are scared to start, I am hoping you might find my videos reassuring!

Sertraline Day 1 Side Effects. So far I have experienced a few side effects after taking sertraline for 24 hours, and as this is my second time on the medication I knew what to expect. Within a few hours of taking Sertraline I had a dry mouth and started to feel exhausted. The exhaustion mean I just chilled out for the evening and managed to get an early night. I assumed I would fall asleep straight away but last night I really struggled to 'switch-off'. I have heard of SSRIs causing Insomnia so was a little worried but I listened to some Audible and managed to fall asleep eventually! When I woke-up I felt refreshed and like I had slept well. I checked my Fitbit Sleep Score and had gone from an average of 80 to 92 - I must have been tired! The data showed me I had experienced deeper sleep than normal and more regular REM. I had some fairly vivid dreams which were quite fun! No nightmares for me! So far the side effects of Sertraline have not been too bad! I was pleased that I haven't experienced an upset stomach this time although I have had some nausea; this is quite common when starting a new dose of SSRIs.
