I have suspected endo of the bowel

I have been feeling very anxious due to being off work since before Christmas. I know this is due to finances. The doctor has prescribed sertraline and I am not sure I should take them. Until further examinations have been carried out. Has anyone else had this. If I go back and talk to her about it I feel like a problem patient..

I have had endo for the past 30 years nearly.

I feel all they want to label is the stress and the anxiety and not the under problem that is causing it.

Hi .. Thanks for your advice. I have made to decision not to take the pills. As no my gp did not explain anything about them. It was left for me to read the leaflet.. I was diagnosed 10 years ago and underwent 3 laps one to remove all adhesion which where connected to the tubes, bowel and bladder. I was always aware that it would not go away and could flare up. I changed doctor 2 months ago due to moving. And I am still chasing up my new doctor to retrieve my notes from previous doctor. she has promised to have read all my notes by my next appointments (.vaginal internal and biopsy ) on the 20th so we will see. Thanks again for your advice. X
