Hello

[Poppy.]

Hello everyone :)
I have always been a bit of an anxious one but things have got on top recently and I started to have horrible panic attacks and palpitations by the bucket load. My Doctor suspected I had an overactive thyroid but everything came back all clear. I have been prescribed Sertraline and started that a few days ago.The first day I took it I was bed bound feeling sick, spaced out and generally weird and convinced I was dying.. thankfully I lived to tell the tale :blush:

Hi Poppy. Welcome. Im sorry you had bad reaction to sertraline. Im also on that. I didnt really have much probs but I do know you can have trouble coming off them so be careful x

Hi poppy. Also on sertraline for panic disorder / GAD. It certainly helped me I think although the first few weeks were a bit rough.

Hope it works out for you. Please feel free to contact if you want to talk to a fellow sufferer!

All the best,
Mark
