sertraline is really good for most people so do give it a good go ok (can take a few months to get going properly, but the important thing is not to stop taking it, and keep going so it has a change to get working properly.. somrtimes it can take 12 weeks ok.. but hopefully you wont have to wait that long)

Hi rachel,i was on 35mg of mirtazipine for over 6 years depression was fine then a year ago i got really unwell severe head and neck pain and tingling sensation,chest pains and palpitations after numerous tests docs said severe stress and anxiety,my doc took me off mirtazipine and put me on 50mg of sertraline for a week with some diazepam to take the edge off,i'm on my second week just went up to 100 mg of sertraline still early days have good and bad days and my sleeping is awful(i've had insomnia for years) but the change in my meds has made it worse as i used to take my mirtazipine at night,stick with it things will get better it takes a while for sertraline to work,my doc tried me on propranolol before sertraline and omg it made me really bad,fainted was taken to hospital. Try stay positive i know it's easier said than done xx
