Loosing all hope, sertraline for intrusive thoughts?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Been on citalopram 10mg for 8 weeks for anxiety and awful intrusive thoughts, due to bad withdrawal symptoms from zopiclone. It's not helping at all actually feeling lot worse the last week and making my hair fall out as well. Loosing hope of ever having normal life again after 9 months withdrawal hell, has anyone found much success with sertraline as also recommended for intrusive thoughts?
