    hi, it totally is worth pushing through i know its hard when all you want it to feel better but by 2-3 weeks the side effects should calm n you should start seeing tiny little glimmers of hope. ive been on it over 5 yrs it does work slowly.

    How are you getting on now? I'm on day 19 of 50ml Sertraline and was also getting terrible anxiety/shaking. I asked my GP for propanolol and they prescribed 10ml up to 3 times a day as I'm asthmatic. I took this for the first time this morning and it seems to have stopped the physical anxiety (which is what it's meant to do). Hope that helps and you're past the worst of it now!
