anxiety and stress
"previously been treated for anxiety & low with citalopram, I did feel better after 2 years, reduced & came off.

After 6 months I started to feel low again, irritable, unable to concentrate, terrible sleep patterns, abusing alcohol & pain killers, night sedation & phenergan!

I was depressed!

Tried sertraline 50 mg od initially & felt worse! But gradually my mood lifted! After about 2 weeks my mood was definitely better however the anxiety took much longer! It's been about 8 weeks now & I feel great.

Taking 100mg sertraline od & it's fab!

My advice is stick with it, if you initially feel rough it will pass xxxxx"
