6 months off Sertraline. Is my anxiety coming back?!
Posted , 1 user is following.
To cut a long story short i took between March 2022 - April 2023 (started slowly coming off end of January)
I took it for anxiety that was triggered after suffering a panic attack. To this day i still don't understand or get what triggered that attack and all the other attacks that followed and the anxiety but whatever, it happened and i made peace with it (kind of).
Anyways I've been off since April and to be honest up until recently I had felt great! I felt like my confidence self again like i did before this anxiety 'journey' I suddenly found myself in last year.
However, I have started to notice a few things.
I've started having nocturnal anxiety episodes where i wake up very on edge suddenly, I cannot breathe and I have this horrible "s**t, something terrible is about to happen to me" feeling i struggle to shift (I hadn't had this since just starting Sertraline during that horrible adjustment period) and I find myself going into occasional periods of anxiety mode particularly around night time and that can trigger a sense of low mood.
Nothing has changed or happened in my life to trigger this response so i feel at a bit if a loss and i just wondered if theres anyone on here who did use sertraline (or any other Anti-depresant) who has experienced the same?
