I've been anxious and had indigestion for 2 months

i have health anxiety and have got myself into a pickle. I've been off antidepressants for 7 months after being on them for 5 years, the doctor advised me to come off them. I was ok for a few months, but then started to get anxious again. I also developed an indigestion problem that my anxious state has kept going. The doctor has done every blood test and more and has said I'm very healthy, just anxious and has now put me on sertraline 50mg a beta blocker 10mg 3 times a day and omeprazole acid tablet. I've felt so anxious still, I'm better than the first week which left me in a terrible state not able to eat or think about anything. I've had 14 tablets now but still don't feel great at all. My stomach is still gurgly and I'm watching what I eat. I'm seeing a counsellor next week, I'm just fed up today as though I'm never going to get better with these problems. I'm hoping when my stress reduces my stomach problem will go. Can anyone relate to this?

Thanks so much for your reply, I had the stomach problem for weeks before taking the antidepressants, I just feel anxious still and my stomach is still not right but better with the meds.

Be sure to take the omeprazole acid tablets at least 1+ hours before sertraline or the sertraline may not be absorbed property.

Did doc tell you that?  Perhaps this is why you are still feeling anxious?
