3 days on setraline and it’s hell. I want to stop

Posted , 5 users are following.

I am on s 50mg dose of Setraline and have been for 3 days now. Today will be the fourth. my anxiety levels are way beyond what they normally are and why i started taking them in the first place. Even basic tasks that i could easily cope with 4 days ago now seem beyond me. I've seen lots of people say ride it out but i think i'd rather go back to

how i was and try and manage this with counselling. i'll be speaking to my doctor today. If i do stop can i expect withdrawl symptoms after only 3 days?

      I'm scared that I have to go back to work next week. I don't know how I'll deal feeling so awful. Is it hard being at work with these side effects?
