After years of anxiety, sertraline has given me relief

i was terrified to start on sertraline having had addiction problems in the past. At least twice I was offered these to help with anxiety but decided to keep trying other natural things like meditation and diet.

The anxiety got worse and I finally took the help. i started on 50 for four weeks with minor side effects like loose stools, bit of heightened anxiety a few mornings, but with some limited improvements my GP suggested upping to 100 mg.

the same minor side effects appeared for a few days but after that there has been a huge improvement in my mood, a considerable reduction in anxiety and i am delighted that I took the leap.

This is week 8
