Stopping Meds after 7 days??

I’ve been on only 25mg of Sertraline for 7 days and I feel dreadful. My main fear of taking this medication was the side effects and I feel I’ve experienced them all. I didn’t expect to have such side effects on such a small dose however because I never take tablets (hardly even paracetamol) does this make me more sensitive?

I’m planning on not taking my medication after today as I feel it’s making me much worse than I’ve ever been anxiety wise. It’s only 25mg for 7 days so withdrawal shouldn’t be too bad???
