    hi

    it does get better, I wouldn't say it's noticeable each day but I had 2 days about 2 weeks apart where a really obvious cloud lifted and then a couple of weeks after that I realised I hadn't thought about my anxiety or had physical feelings. it gets worse before it gets better so hang on in there. if you Google sertraline reviews there are loads of really positive stories from people that really helped me to keep going x

    Hi,

    Yes i am. i have generalized anxiety disorder and mild PTSD from the traumatic death of my husband. I started on 25 mg a week ago and have just moved up to 50 mg today.

    Having some bad side effects though, nausea and completely no appetite oh and the fatigue and sleeping issues are just awful but I think to be honest that is my body just being anxious. I'm really hoping things start to ease soon. ill keep going. i hope things work for you too.
