I started taking 50 mg sertraline on the advice of the GP for anxiety, increased worry through stress and depression as well. In the 1st week the anxiety increased, the depression and negative thoughts became worse, could barely sleep. Also had lots of bowel problems and hot flushes. But then after about 3 weeks the medicine slowly started to work. Sleeping better, feeling a bit calmer. After 2 months a lot fewer symptoms. Medicine definitely helps me to relativise things. Few side effects, just a bit sleepy after I take it in the evening. Concentration and mood improved. It's helped me not to fall into a depression. Going to keep taking it for the foreseeable.
