    Hi Wendy,

    Strangely enough I posted last night about trying to come off Sertraline! (Lustral) However - in it's defence - at the time I was prescribed it I had bad anxiety and depression and I really needed it. For many years I have felt that it has given me a better quality of life. I don't remember having too many side effects from it, although 50mgs is considered to be a pretty low dose, and that is what I am on and have been from the start. I am more scared of coming off them because I have been on them for so long, and prior to Sertraline was on Seroxat, which I stupidly came off by going 'cold turkey' and had horrendous side effects. I have been on 25mgs for almost a week now, and so far have had no ill effects, so maybe it will be OK. All I can say is give it a try - maybe you'll only need it for a short time, and if so I think it will get you through this rough period. I can't really comment on the propanalol because I've not been on it, maybe someone else can advise you!

    Take care, and if you need the Sertraline take it, I do believe it helps.



    Love

    Annie
