Sertraline making me feel EXTREMELY anxious and jittery!

Posted , 8 users are following.

I've read where this is a common side effect but how long does it last and is it anything I should be concerned about?  I feel like I just drank a whole pot of coffee!  I'm a very anxious person as it is so this side effect isn't exactly welcomed.  Any words of hope or wisdom out there?  

I've been on this medication for 3 days, FYI.

    could be jitteriness syndrome

    Should I tell my doctor this?

    Would he priscribe something for those bad few days?
