I was prescribed sertraline 50mg yesterday because my anxiety has gotten out of hand to the point where I’ve not been in work this last week.
I did take one yesterday morning and I’m not sure if it was just placebo or not but I felt calmer but sleepy. However I woke up very early this morning and was instantly back to panicking/bad thoughts etc. I’ve been reading reviews on it and it seems hit and miss..
I work as cabin crew and I’m afraid to take tablets incase they mess with my mind too much. it concerns me because I’m always in different time zones and also working many night shifts. I always wanted to go down the more natural way with herbal remedies etc but I’m not sure they work.
I just feel stuck. I haven’t taken my second one today. I’m not sure I want to get into medication because at some point I’ll probably have to come off it. I’ve had cbt last year- most of my anxiety is Health related but I also worry about many other non health related things.
