Hope your all well and staying strong

    Is this something you've looked into yourself? Or something you've had recommended by the GP? 

    Many thanks

      I've decided to come off the sertraline I don't feel any better on than off but boy I certainly feel the side effects! Just wondered if that would be something worth mentioning to the doc?  Probably not lol 

      good luck x

    Kevin, I'm sorry you had such a bad day. It was my 15 th day that I ended up going into the ER for relief from the anxiety.  Shaking, nausea, head spinning, just felt like I was losing control.  After a few hours in the ER they gave me Ativan IV.  Helped within minutes.  My doc ordered Ativan .5 for home now and took away the xanax.  Last two days have been much better.  I hope your feeling better.
