so been on sertraline for 7 months now , been doing well, back at work . but Saturday night I went on a segway fell off and broke my foot, anxiety not too bad, but I may need an operation? I'm scared my anxiety may come back and scared if I get put under general anaesthetic that it will affect the sertraline?

any help advise will be much appreciated. xx

    So sorry for what happened to u and don't worry just tell the doc in the hospital about what you take and the dose of it , they will sure consider it and deal with alternatives .

    My advice to u is whenever you feel scared or anxious try to breath deeply and it's going to be ok never worry . Hope you get well soon .

    You will be fine, bones mend and anaesthetic mixes fine with sertraline. Stop thinking too much and concentrate on breathing 😀

      For these next few days do you have any benzos that can help you if you get overly anxious? That could be something you could talk to the doctors about while you are still there.
