Sertraline side effects and withdrawal

Hi everyone my doctor decided to put me on sertraline for low mood and anxiety but I can’t cope with the side effects. I’ve only been on 25mg for 6 days and want to just stop. Will I have any withdrawal symptoms does anyone know?

I can’t carry on with the med as it’s making me really anxious, giving me headaches and making me feel dizzy 🙁 oh and also making me emotional 😭

Thanks Diane

I use to take sertraline but it was giving me insomnia ..I kind of just stopped taking it and nothing happened but I was on a low dose..I think you should talk to your doctor first just in case and maybe they will slowly ween you off of it ..don’t do what I did haha everyone is different
