Sertraline and panic reactions
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have a heart arrhythmia problem and have been suffering from anxiety. Was prescribed sertraline and took just 25mg once 3 days ago in the morning. After 8 hours it triggered my arrythmia which I controlled using bisoprolol but since then have been prone to extreme anxiety that I have never felt before. Also I need to take the bisoprolol more frequently. Can a single dose of sertraline do this?

Hi Nauman,
I suppose it could do, however doctors would disagree.
I’ve been taken it for five weeks and i’ve had extreme anxiety, where i’m considering not taking it.
The only problem is I suffer with depression, Axiety, and OCD, so i’m worried about what will happeto me if I do stop.
As I’ve mentioned before I have never known a antidepressant to have such severe side-effects as Sertraline.
Seeing the Gp Tuesday to see what I can do.
I think you should get advice as well, just to put your mind at rest.
God bless.🙏

Thank you for you reply Blondey. From a discussion I just had with another doctor ssri's can cause problems in people with arrhythmia issues like myself. So apparently they may not be for me. I have been advised to take bisoprolol on a daily basis and then take a anti anxiety drug if needed. I guess everyone's condition and body chemistry can be quite different so I hope you find something that works for you. Five weeks on sert appears to be a long time for your system to settle down with it. Maybe you can ask your GP if supplements like magnesium or 5HTP could help you.
