Hello,

I’ve been a member of this wonderful forum for a couple years now and it has really helped. If you’ve read any of my older posts you will see that for the last couple years I have really suffered with crippling anxiety. You name the symptom, I’ve had it! And it all started because of a low moment in my life when I had a biopsy on a black mole, sounds minor and stupid but it really hit home that one day I will die and spiralled from there. It left me with severe anxiety, agoraphobia and depression.

I learned to cope and hide it from people, most of my family don’t understand and simply think I should just “snap out of it”. I can longer go on like this and I am now severely depressed, I mean to the point where I don’t even want to do anything except stare at a wall all day. The anxiety is slowly getting worse as well so my GP has prescribed Sertraline 50mg. I’m worried about taking them and the side effects. I read on the Daily Mail that they are linked to sudden death in 2 people!

Has anyone got any experience with this drug?

Thanks
