I started taking anxiety medicine for my health anxiety a few weeks ago and started on Venlafaxine. Due to the side effects I swapped off of Venlafaxine and started taking Sertraline last Thursday. I was just wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms:

  • Sweating
  • Chills
  • Extra saliva
  • Tired
  • Forgetfulness
  • Confusion
  • Twitching

I know I'm still early on in my treatment, but I would like to know how common some of these side effects are and if I need to be concerned.
