6 weeks in on the meds and had a few better days today has not been a good day very flat emotionally and crying is this just a blip? Dont want to start going backwards 😞

My day started off ugly as well. I think it’s best that I separate myself from one of my triggers and that is my current boyfriend.

Hi sue what meds are you on for anxiety?

Sertraline and Propranolol x

I'm not really sure about that. But I'm glad you told me. My Obgyn is doing a genetic test to see what anxiety medicine would match me. But I have been warned by my family that medicine isn't good for you. And just seeing how this medicine is effecting you is one of my fears of taking the medicine. Now have you had any anxiety attacks since you started the medicine? I'm not a doctor so I don't have answers. I have tried 2 different antidepressants and got very severe side effects from it and the next day my doctor told me to stop taking it. My therapist seems to think that i could go without taking it. So I'm on here to see what happens with people who take that medicine. The drs don't understand that i have allergic reaction to that medicine. I have told them that i want to just continue seeing my therapist but they didn't like hearing that at all.

Be patient and you will start feeling more normal as the medication starts to work. You mention you have had a good day, fantastic

My boyfriend takes this medicine. He thinks i should listen to the Doctor. He says that genetics test doesn't lie. And that they would be able to match the correct medicine that matches my dna. Have you ever had that done? Have you called your doctor and let them know what is going with you?

Before Christmas i was hospitalized with severe anxiety and depression Sertraline has saved my life literally!! Yes the side effects were brutal to start with and my anxiety shot through the roof BUT il take all of that over how i was before i started them even on a bad day im 100% better than i was basically if id not asked for help and started the Sertraline i wouldn't be here now typing this.
