I have been on sertraline for about 8 weeks does anyone else suffer with panic attacks and also do they wake very early in the morning and still feel panic and then they end up having a bad day.

    I wake up and as soon as I open my eyes I can feel my heart beginning to pound in my chest and my breathing becomes shallow... I was taking 40mgs of citalopram..now dr has changed me to this tablet..100 mgs..so have to see how it goes. Your not alone. The worst thing is when your having a panic attack for no apparent reasonb
