Hi,
I've been on 100mg of sertraline for a couple of months now (and should be starting to come off them when I next see my dr!!!!! :D )
About 7 weeks ago I injured my arm. Took quite a few trips to the Dr's before one finally agreed I was in pain and refered me to a specialist to look for ulnar nerve compression.
In the meantime he gave me an anti-inflammatory (Naproxen 500mg) and Tramadol as I can't take codeine for a pain killer.
At first I felt really dizzy from the Tramadol which I guess is only normal.
10 days later and I'm exhausted. The pain is not going away so I'm struggling to stay asleep. Also I feel sick, and bunged up in the bathroom department. I'm also sweating loads. Like, I've brought two tops to work just incase I sweat through one.
Apart from the Dr I see for depression, they are rubbish at my practice so don't know what they will do if I go back. The referral came through and the earliest they can do is the 28th August which is way after the meds run out anyway.
Any suggestions?
I'm trying very hard to not let it get me down but today, tired and post-chuck, it's hard.
