Hello I'm billie. I live in Wales. I am 19 years old.

Okay so I was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and depression last December. I was put on 50mg sertraline and eventually higher education my dose to 100mg. I want to come off them but I forgot to take them for a week now. I felt fine up until now. I am absolutely exhausted and having pains in my heart. Like I can't breathe without it killing me. I don't know what to so I don't really know wet her or not I should take one or not?

    Hi my advice would be to call either your doctor or if they don't have an outside call service then you can either go to a walk in centre or call 111 for advice.

    Make sure you do one or the other just to put your mind at rest.

    All chest pain needs urgent attention so I would ring 999 . It may be a reaction to CT but best to make sure. It sounds as though you do not need this drug.
