The symptoms may have been mild, but your immune system was likely working in turbo mode and that may account for some of the anxiety/panic in addition to the psychological trauma of having covid. These (and depression) are arguably auto-immune disorders and infections will often exacerbate them.
I remember when I last started venlafaxine I was started on 150mg straight away as I also tried steraline
Were you switched from sertraline to venlafaxine, or did you start if from scratch after being off sertraline for a while, Kalie?
