Just starting 50mg Setraline today ..

[SANick]

I have suffered anxiety all my life and none more so that in the last 10 years (im 29) but i've always wanted to avoid taking medication after reading alot of negative comments online. About 4 years ago I tried fluoxetine and after 1 week I feel so bad, worse than ever in fact that I stopped right there.

So my GP has now said I really should try setraline, and I have to try something because I can't go on like this. I've been unemployed for 10 years and very rarely socialise and if I do I have to get stupid drunk first.

Can anyone who's on this enlighten me as to how exactly they will make me feel? Will I feel worse before I feel better on these aswell?

I suffer severe social anxiety and OCD.

thanks
