"i was worried that sertraline wouldn&#039;t work for me because they say the effects are different for everyone but its actually been going very well. i&#039;ve been using sertraline for about 4 months now. it did take awhile to notice any changes in my mood but after a month or so i realized how great i was doing. not only does it help me for my depression but it has helped just as much with my anxiety. i no longer feel overly sensitive/upset about minor things but i haven&#039;t lost touch with my emotions. my overall mood has made a 180. not having bad anxiety has especially made my life so much better. i just feel well balanced and think clearer and more reasonably instead of drowning in my depression."
