Going back on Sertraline

I have been off Sertraline for a year or so, but my anxiety is worse than ever now, and with Christmas coming up, I have decided to go back on it. It helps me remain calmer and less anxious. My anxiety has been so bad recently that I keep being sick.

So sorry about your anxiety levels ukdamon, hope the medication works well for you, Xmas is a anxious time for anyone but when you already suffer high anxiety levels it must be really bad hope all goes well. Annette !!!

Thank you Annette, it's a struggle on a daily basis at the moment, I keep asking myself what's wrong with me? I have Asperger's so I guess it's all my issues. This time of year doesn't help.

No it does not help at all, my granddaughter is 19 and has suffered Aspergers with autism all her life, she does get very stressed in some situations but has never had any medication, one good thing though as she hardly goes out, on her 18th birthday she went to a night club none of us could believe it, since then she has become a little better in social situations, let us know how things go with you keep well Annette

Have you been formally diagnosed with Aspergers? It's rare to take drugs for anxiety if one has Aspergers. I recommend you come off your drugs slowly and take up meditation and yoga, running/walking...no drugs please!
