  • Hey (: I have bipolar and have been through so many different medications (including sertraline) so if you want to talk you can inbox me (:

    To answer your question though, it will take a few weeks to a couple of months for them to start working fully.. max two months I’d say.. usually around 6 weeks.. the first few weeks can be pretty tough but you’ve got to battle through it! I had a lot of nasty side effects with sertraline. . But then again, you’re not supposed to give anti depressants to someone with bipolar anyway (this was pre bipolar diagnosis so doctors just thought I had depression aha)

    I used to work in mental health and I also studied a foundation in mental health nursing (never did the degree though).. so I have a fairly good understanding of some medications and side effects etc (: xx

  • Nothing to feel bad about! Sertraline took 3 months to get into my system if you feel you need them then take them xx
