Hey - just wondering if anyone had advice. I’ve suffered with chronic health anxiety for a while now, it peaked in 2016 and I started having panic attacks and a massive fear of death. Went to the docs and got sertraline- took one pill and got some weird side effects (obviously I’d read the leaflet adding to the issue).
I got over the panic but I’m just a very worried person. If not health, my job, my relationships etc. I want to try SSRIs again so have been prescribed sertraline again. Starting Monday but I am scared.
Any tips?
Thanks!
Hi Fighthouse, i am on sertraline and if you can get past the first few weeks of side effects, it really does help and worth persevering. I've recently increased my dosage and feel lot stronger. Hope it works for you. x
Thank you! Did you figure out any ways to ge through?
My anxiety was really bad in first few weeks and I nearly gave up, but I kept myself busy at work and I had a good friend to talk to when it got bad. You can always talk to me here anytime!
