Hi Twitchy
If you put 'sertraline' in the Forum Topic Search box you will get lots of threads from other members who have taken it.

Hi Twitchy, I'm not myself, but would consider changing to it in the new year, depending on how others find it... It is said to be pretty good, so give it a good go... There maybe swings and roundabouts to go round as it gets into your system ,but it will surely be worth it when the therapeutic effects kick in...
All the best wishes with it... You're at the beginning of a new journey...

That's great news, Blueboy! Good to see you on the forum again. Sorry to hear the weather's getting you down - not surprising, it really is filthy! Hope you feel better soon.

Good luck Twitchy, I hope the sertraline works as well for you as it does for Blueboy.

thanks wombat... dont want to hijack twitchys posting... but i am convinced that my ocd is down to an imbalance of seratonen... because i get the s.ad. severely... i'm practicaly hibernating.
also b4 meds i would sit and be shaking inside unable to do even a small task... i can tell that much of my ocd was fueld by anxiety...from something a=miss in my brain. just thought i would share that.
ps. if you get the anxiety down then you find ocd has no real strength..sertraline ,i think,works on that too.. give it a try twitchy

I didn't want to go on them either,but sometimes you just need that extra bit of support.Taken my first one,no side effects so far!
