Is sertraline the only AD you've been on till now and were you under greater than normal stress when it pooped-out?
I've read so many horror stories all over the place I am absolutely terrified.
Then stop doing it. People mostly post about the relatively few bad experiences, often through the distorting lens of anxiety, not the many, many more positive experiences.
I know these things are all trial and error, take time and it won't work for everyone, but I would just like to hear something good in order to give me a bit of hope.
Mirtazapine is more a potent sedating antihistamine than AD so tends to begin easing anxiety sooner than other ADs. Side-effects are usually less than for the others too, sedation being the main one.
