I've been on it since the 15th March. I had been to the Dr about anxiety and depression after a fall out with a friend, but I think lots of things in my life in the last 3 years have contributed to all of this. To start off with the dr gave me prolanalol to calm down the anxiety symptoms, but it was the crying all the time that was getting me down and not being able to function (hard when children need to be looked after) I'm also doing computerised CBT. I said I was going to give it 6 weeks with the CBT and if no improvement I'd speak to the Dr again, well 1 day after making that decision I was on the phone to the Dr having a breakdown he straight away said he was prescribing me sertraline and that I should've been put on medication alongside the CBT in the 1st place. As I've only spoke to him over the phone he didn't say how long I would be on it, but I have a review with him Tuesday. That's another 1 of my worries that when I do come off I will go back to square one. Do you know how long you will be taking them?

I think the CBT is helping a bit, but it's hard work. I actually think I may benefit more from talking to a counsellor, so going to speak to my dr about that, but I think there is quite a long waiting list.
I'm really tired today as didn't have much sleep last night. I'm wondering if that doesn't help with it all.

I'm still suffering with night sweats also which I think maybe something to do with the tablets.

As you have been on the tablets a while would you say generally they have helped at times?
