Newly prescribed Sertaline
I’m 35 years old and have suffered from severe anxiety my whole life since as long as I can remember. Racing thoughts, over thinking, small tasks for no reason feel huge, underwhelming things feel overwhelming. Social anxiety as well, stores , driving, shopping. It’s basically controlled my life for as long as I can remember. I have always shelved it, hid it and for a long time could function while all this was happening. The last three years have been rough it seems to be getting worse to the point it exhausts me now. I finally took the step to the DR. And was prescribed sertaline. Now I’m scared and anxious about the medication. I know you shouldn’t look up reviews and people tend to post more negative than positive but I’m scared it’s going to take away my personality , make me a zombie. I got a good job I just landed, I have a more stable life but worse anxiety. Anybody have any success stories or positives to sertaline ? I’m prescribed 25 mg for two weeks then to 50 mg it seems relatively low but I’m still scared. How did you get over the hump ?
