    hi I am new to meds and anxiety. day 29 on sertraline but I also take propranolol. I have 80mg morning and night ie 2 a day but their slow release after couple of days a lot of my symptoms decreased and helped me feel calmer whilst I was getting used to sertraline.

    Is he telling to to immediately withdraw from both meds?

    That is DANGEROUS! This is too serious for me to offer any advice except say what you just said on here, to your doctor. Make sure he knows your current state and be firm about him helping you through it!! Seek emergency help if needed.

    I know what I would do, I would break my Sertraline 100 mg tablets in half and when myself off slowly.

    Hopeing for best outcome!
