Am I obsessing?
In December, I was given a a very low dose script for Sertraline. I take 25mg in the am and 25mg in the pm. I love this drug, I don't remember the last time I felt so light and bubbly and happy! But I've been on it for 4 months now and still feel almost giddy, especially in my relationship with my husband. We have a wonderful marriage and are best friends and I feel like I'm 16 again and I'm wondering if this is going to come crashing down once my body has been on the drug a while. Or if I'm just afraid that these feelings won't last.
Thank you for your reply. I'm feeling great right now. The nausea has seemed to stop. The giddiness is kind of slowing down, to bad. I kind of enjoyed being silly and happy! I do take the meds about 1-2 hrs before meals because it keeps me from sleeping.

Hello,
The most common side effects of sertraline are sleepiness, nervousness, insomnia, dizziness, nausea and upset stomach. So your giddiness may be a side effect of the drug. Consult your doctor for changing the antidepressant or timing the antidepressant so that it does not cause giddiness like you may take the drug 2 hours after meals or get a PPI inhibitor like Omeprazole added to your prescription drugs.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
