I have been on sertraline for almost 9yrs now, and was put on promethazine for chronic daily migraine. The promethazine made me very drowsy, discontinued after a short while. I didn't feel that it (promethazine) helped me with anxiety, but the sertraline did. I still have frequent anxiety, but it's not consistently as severe as it once was.

I have been on sertraline for years. While it does help some, i was also prescribed lorazepam, which is a benzo. Some people don't like the idea of taking benzos, but if they work for me to actually step out of the house without panic, i don't mind at all.

I’ve been given promethazine along with venlafaxine, neither is helping my anxiety but at least I get a few hours sleep now with the promethazine which I wasn’t. I’ve been given it for during the day too but doesn’t do anything
