I've been prescribe sertraline today for low mood and anxiety... I am taking this as well as Ramipril, propranolol and contraception...

Is there anything in need to know or look out for whilst on the tablets, will I ever feel right without them?

    not sure how low you are or how anxious? Sertraline has some side effects that can be very disruptive. However, my friend went on them 50 and had no side effects. Personally, if I was to turn the clock back six months, I would try many other things first. Good luck

      Thanks for the reply!

      I've been told it'll take around 2 weeks to start working then I should feel "better".

      I'm sorry to hear you didn't have much luck with them! Guess I'll just have to play the waiting game! *sigh*

      Hi Vault, it does take time but I know once the side affects stop the tablets do help combat anxiety and depression. I'm taking my time with the meds and taking each day as it comes.

      I'm on 50 mg and I've had ups and downs. You will get there. Stay positive and stay strong. God bless x
