Hi again,

I was on sertraline for 3 months and could not continue due to side effects such as heart palpitations, shortness of breath and such kind of sensations. Lowered the dose to 25 mg and last weekend switched to escilatopram 10 mg. No anxiety or such kind of mood problems during that switch but heart and breath issues not solvedsad Just curious when they all be gone and feel better? Anyone faced it before?
