Just wondering

Did you go to the doctors about it?

Yea spoke on phone to one this morning, she just kept saying it's my anxiety and I need to take this as if I'm some wierd person and a nuisance to them 

Sounds like this drug isnt worth the withdrawal symptoms. I get side effects alot with medicines so I don't know if worth taking or not 

Every medication has some form of side effects and withdrawal. Just because someone has had side effects or withdrawal doesnt mean you will. I got awful serotonin syndrome with citilopram that put me in hospital i nearly died. That was from 6 tablets at 20mg so i never wanted another tablet ever again and i found the courage to go on sertraline as ive heard its the best for most people but not all. And ive had a walk in the park with my side effects nothing really concerning bad stomach for a few days and headaches but nothing compared to anxiety itself. Keep on it worth it 

It's already made my anxiety loads worse and that is from one dose. Struggling 

You have to ride the storm unfortunately, your already brave as you have sort help for your anxiety. Your half way there,

Ok let me tell you something as im here to help you like others have helped me. Lets say you packed in the tablets and carried on with your anxiety untill next time you need something to take the edge off back to square one just like i did. I wish i had started these tablets 8 months ago but i was scared to death of them. Side effects your experienceing will only be temporary and then you will get better and better. Im on day 16 amd seen a massive improvement. If you look on side effects what others experienced you may only get 1 you may get all of them but there is things to take the edge off while you do.

Honestly i get awful side effects but this tablet has been like a night after a run or the gym were you feel tired and weak but not ill. That only lasts aslong as your brain re wires. Keep up the good work i promise you will not regret it. 

P.sask the doctor for a beta blocker (propanalol) to stop the panic symptoms then you will walk through these few weeks like a breeze 

I forgot to ask for those today, should have as the diazepam hasn't helped with the side effects.  Thanks for the advice, just nervous 

When did you find best time of day to take them? 

I take them at 1oclock everyday dont that since day 1, i still cannot belive ive had hardly no side effects what so ever. People take them at night or in the morning so i tried something different and went for afternoon and been best for me. 

I took mine round 3 yesterday and have felt bad since taking it, so don't know when to try. It's good you found one that works for you 

Honestly your strong you keep your head up dont let anything beat you down, it will get easier you just have to tell yourself im going to do this. Make sure no caffine or sweets or sugar. They make you more tense as it gives you a buzz so non of that

Wish doctors told me that, caffeine I hardly have now anyway but I didn't know about the sugar. Feel like such a whimp, used to think I was a strong person but I've lost that. Sorry in a low mood today 

You will be strong again and your not a wimp at all. Ever since i was young ive always played football and i actually got paid for it i was offerd pro contracts but i turned them down i was always signing autographs for little kids outside the ground after training ect i was on top of the world but after i quit as i fell out of love with it i had all this anxiety hit me at once. I felt weak too and a wimp but belive it or not your alot stronger than those without anxiety or depression as they have never walked our path. It takes alot to stay strong through all this

Yea you never know what's it's like till you go through it. My partner has been through i I tried everything to help him, even put up with the way he treated me because I knew it wasn't him doing it. Now I'm going through it, I feel alone, as he doesn't talk to me about it, or comfort me, just gets stressy and looks at me as if I'm useless. He should understand really. But hey ho. You ever thought bout finding another hobby you are interested in? I was active before this, then had my operation and been downhill ever since

I have a little girl on the way so that will be my hobby hahaha. 

So your telling me your fella went through this and you stuck by him. Did he recive treatment? Did it make him better?.

But now you are going through it that he doesnt listen to you as thats awful love. My wife is the most supportive person in the world she treats me like a king shes heavily pregnant and she wants to run around after me i have to tell her no lol. 

What symptoms do you have right now as we speak

Yea I stuck by him, even when he split up with me and went of with someone else, we got back together, said so many hurtful things, but it was all because of depression, it wasn't like him, so I stuck by. He tried treatment, two different types and made him be sick all the time, so he stopped. Don't know how he got through it in the end as it slowly started to fade away, which was good. He's notary good with emotions, so doesn't know how to be towards me. Doesn't believe in medication to help or psychiatrists. At the moment I have pain in my chest which doctor checked today, looks like it's the muscles in my chest, very low mood and no energy. Havnt taken my second tablet yet. Congratulations, hope all goes well with the birth 

See what im saying your stronger than i am already as if anyone cheated on me id be long gone but you gave him a second chance. Do you think it might be the stress of all that with your fella might have caused your low self esteem. Sorry if im being personal but that must of been tough. 

Write on here everyday and i will help you through it just think day 17 tomorrow for me and soon will be you. Ive just turned 27 if you dont mind me asking how old are you and do you have any little ones. Thanks im looking forward to my girl coming 

ive had time to get over that, he left me twice during his depression, the second time i refused to take him back at the time, i was so angry and suffered panic attacks at the time, lost alot of weight. after 6 months i took him back as he was past his depression by then and i wasnt angry anymore, that was a year ago, the only reason the anxiety has come back is because back in march i had a missed miscarriage and then in may i had an ectopic pregnancy, had to have surgery to stop the internal bleeding and remove left fallopian tube. im 28 and i got a 9, 8 and 3 year old

Ahhhh i see wow you have been through an awful lot and i only asked if you had kids as they normally take all your energy and attention so less time thinking about side effects. Maybe explain to your family you need comfort for these few weeks maybe ask your parents or his to take the kids for a few days so you have a little you time maybe over the weekend. I will be on here everyday soon as you message back as it beeps on my phone and will be able to answer any question or worry you have. Keep strong 

is there an app for this as i dont have a clue, i only stumbled on this forum when i googled he side effects for these tablets, there was so many side effects lol. thank you. i havnt spoken to my family about it, plus they work, i work too. and my partners parents are useless unfortunately

Not sure about the app i just have it through email on my phone. I do that i just put in google and searched side effects of sertraline and this site is the top page so just find it through that. Anyway good luck tonight darl. Speak again soon
