Hi there hope somebody can help, I experience severe anxiety an have been signed of my work for a year now an feel like I'm getting worse I've experienced depression off an on throughout my life an its come back in full force. My dr prescribed me citalopram an I experienced chest pain during sleep.

I have now been given sertaline an have not started taking them yet as I'm very anxious about taking tablets due to side effects ect.

I can't leave the house alone an cannot go in to shops use public transport ect. Has anyone found this medicine useful ?

I'd just really like some support right now as I haven't got anyone but my mum at the moment. Some encouragement an motivation would be amazing an please no negative feedback. Thank you for your time smile

Hi I have been taking sertraline for the past five months for anxiety and depression. I have found them very helpful along with counselling and I'm not in the process of coming off them. I haven't suffered any of the side affects but did read about them and was very concerned at the start. I hope this helps

Hi, like you I was scared to take sertraline because of the side effects. Yes, you may get some, but they only last a few days at the most and I have to say they were a godsend to me. Please take them, accept the side effects, if any!! and let them do their work and you will feel so much better. I remember waking up about 10 days after taking them and thinking "what the heck was I worrying about". They changed my life xx
