"went to the doc 10 days ago feeling quite depressed and anxious/nervous in unfamiliar situations.  cancelled trips where i felt trapped in case i had a panic attack.  prescribed sertraline 50mg.  within hours of taking this drug felt absolutely awful.  was in a really dark state of mind with anxiety, agitation, trembling and sleeplessness. 



persevered for one week but finally gave up.  am now feeling much better after stopping. going for a hypnotherapy session which has worked for me in the past.



everyone on this drug has a different experience, positive or negative, but for me it made me much worse and i could not stand these awful side effects for one more day."
