Treating anxiety with Sertraline - advice needed

Mental health
1

So i’ve been taking sertraline for about 5 now. I suffer from general anxiety throughout the day combined with panic attacks/periods of heightened anxiety. Currently i’m taking 25mg daily, I knew to expect feeling rough for the first couple of weeks but I’m still having quite bad anxiety combined with a lot of aches and pains across my upper body/all over (have other people experienced this?)

It’s tough to know what’s the anxiety and what’s the sertraline and basically whether I should be sticking this out or trying something else.

The best thing to do would be talk to your doctor about this. I know that sometimes it can take up to eight weeks to start to feel better, usually less though. but if you’re really having a rough time discuss it with your doctor. also, tell him or her about that aches and pains you are having and heightened anxiety.
The thing is if you start a new SSRI medication you’ll have to wait it out again. sorry you are going through this. I am going through the same thing right now trying to find the right medication.
