so ive been on sertraline 6 years altogether and was doing fab!! im on 100mg. 4 days ago i had a trigger which set my anxiety off and i felt like i did at the beginning of my journey, the intrusive thoughts and everything else. It does seem to of calmed a little bit just wanted to ask if anyone else has had a set back over the years and been like this? how long for it to calm down again?

before my trigger i had been poorly with a sickness bug so missed a couple of tablets, although ive missed a couple before and was fine.
