Does anyone have suggestions for an antidepressant for anxiety that has least initial side effects. I have so much on my plate with work and family commitments at the moment that I just can't go bat shit crazy with initial weeks on antids.

I was on Sertraline for 9 months after post natal health anxiety in 2016 but I think I went off them far too quickly.

I have also contacted a local psychologist about arranging CBT for my health anxiety issues but I do feel I probably need to go back to the doctors about medication for anxiety.
