Anyone Familiar With Sertraline?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Liverpool, UK

I've just been prescribed sertraline today after telling the doctor my previous medication wasn't doing the job. She's put me on 100 mg and said I need to cut down more on smoking weed which while having a few spliffs is something I do to chill out, I realise it's become a problem for me as well. Has anyone ever been on this medication before, what are the first few days like, what side effects could I expect even though I'm hungover today so I'm not sure I'll be feeling great until I get some… read more

It worked well for me for many year's. It recently stopped working and had to change it.. I smoked weed while on it and the two dont mix well. Now i have been weed free for over 5yrs now.
Stopping smoking is far harder than stopping the weed. After about two wks it didn't bother me, every now and again i think I could do with a joint but its only fleeting.
Hope it works 4 you.
