Anxiety and Stress
"I have been on sertraline for about 2 months now. My doctor prescribed them 4 months ago but I was very reluctant to take them as I had read that the side effects could be pretty awful. For the first week I didn&#039;t feel great at all, mainly restlessness and slightly heightened anxiety but after the week they fully wore off I found it took about 5-6 weeks until I really noticed a change in my mood but I definitely feel loads better than I did before I started sertraline. I was prescribed 50mg to start off with and yesterday got prescribed 100mg as I still don&#039;t feel completely myself yet, but I do feel a million times better. I haven&#039;t taken 100mg yet as I am scared I get worsened side effects but I am going to try them tonight."
