Hi I was wondering if anyone could help I am so poorly after starting sertraline 50mg. took it for 7days my anxiety is unbearable, got tremors and can't sleep. I cant hold it out any longer. Doctor said to stop taking it and that i dont need to wean off it but nervous to go cold turkey incase that also makes me even worse (that's if that's possible to feel any worse) has anyone had similar experience? I feel so scared right now.

    I will tell you what I have saying in other posts. It is known that, during the first weeks of taking sertraline, for some people, like me, Symptoms get worse (was really bad for me) before improving. For me thing really started to improve by 3 week. Week 4 was really fine!
