Hi all well I have finally plucked up the courage to talk to the dr about the overwhelming fear and symptoms I have been having. It didnt go too well the dr i spoke to was very belittling and atm has put me off ever asking for help again. But after she felt she had put me down enough she has prescribed sertraline. I have never taken this ever I took citalopram bk about 6 years ago and had a really bad reaction to it basically it felt like I had an aneurysm something exploded in the bk of my head. It didnr obviously but they said it was a reaction to the citalopram and I should stop them straight away. Well this has made me anxious about using anything else. I have reached a point in my anxiety where I feel I canr manage it alone but am scared about trying this. I dont want to look up side effects because I will feel every one. Is this an ok medication will it help of hinder?
