Please Drink Water: It is most likely not eating enough. That is quite a large amount of fiber. I would hope you have drunk one to two liters of water to flush that through.

Been on Sertraline for 6 months now. It worked well. Last week I had a lot to do and I didn't get solid sleep. Often up into AM. I feel anxious, depressed again, like I did when I first started meds. Did the pills poop out or is it the lack of sleep?
