150mg for over year. Doing intensive driving course & suddenly major anxiety.

Posted , 1 user is following.

ive been on anti anxiety for few years. Sertraline for over a year at 150mg. Been learning to drive HGV over last year with manageable and understandable anxiety. Am qualified now and doing training with instructor before going out solo.

Suddenly been hit with massive anxiety unbearable first thing in morning, bad throughout morning and uncomfortable in afternoon. I noticed the colour of pills is different "Relon Chem" and wondered if this may be a factor as been taking these for a week or two. Switched to "Accord" which i had from my next prescription. Felt a difference but still getting night sweats, morning anxiety.

It feels like i stopped taking pills for a few weeks and started again & waiting for them to work in again. (Like when i moved from citalopram to sertraline a while back).

As my new work is driving im taking week off to see if itll get better over that time with "Accord" possibly working in again. GP didnt offer any suggestions other than what im already doing, pharmacist said that shed heard from another patient with same problem with "Relon Chem" sertraline.

Anyone else have any experience or advice?image
