    And many anti depressants including sertraline can cause suicidal thoughts and anal leakage and a plethora of other VERY RARE side effects. The benefits have been PROVEN to much higher than the risks of any side effects.

    Many drink alcohol and the side effects are quite apparent and highly likely yet they still do. Why would you not take something to help you when the risk of side effects are so rare and the benefits so high?

    Having obsessively researched Sert two months ago in the beginning of this battle- I NEVER saw anything- even on the extremely rare side effects list- that links this med to cancer.

    StressedMamof3- if you can muster up enough rational thoughts and strength to work through your meds.....then you will be able to treat your anxiety. Once your anxiety is treated.....your overly-sensitized fear of cancer will dissipate and that misguided information won't even matter.

    Re: Side effects of sertraline

    Please could the lady who said about the cancer link say a little more about this?
    Where has this been read?

    I lost both my closest friend and my brother to cancer a few months ago .... so this dreadful disease is in the very forefront of my mind.
