sertraline/anxiety?

[happiness...its all a lie]

Hi,

I have recently been taken off Prozac as it was making me very dizzy and unwell. I have since started taking sertraline and wondered what people thought? It is still early for me to be taking it so I haven't noticed much difference yet.( 2 weeks)

Also im really struggling with anxiety at the moment and don't know if the sertraline will help with that or not? the anxiety is based around work and purely on that which I am trying to change to reduce it but I don't know what to do. I feel lost and rambly sorry if I don't make sense.

Hi,
sorry there haven't been any replies so far.

I think that there could be different reasons why you are experiencing anxiety. One is that you are off the Prozac and your brain chemistry is probably still adjusting to this.
You've been taking the new med Sertraline only for 2 weeks so far, and I think it is a bit early to tell how exactly it is working for you. It is a different med, so it is working differently. Maybe it is necessary to take another med in addition for your anxiety. I don't know.
If I were you, then I would wait another 2 weeks or until your next appointment with your psych and then talk about this problem with him/her.

Do you have a therapist with whom you could discuss strategies on how to cope with the anxiety around work?
