Tried Sertraline for the first time
Anxiety Support / by shySpring2662

...See more Hi everyone, so I’ve been dealing with anxiety for a few years now and have taken meds but only sporadically (I didn’t take it seriously). Until 4 months ago, when I traveled overseas and had a really bad panic attack that lasted for hours (it was 20 hours flight). When I came back to my home country, I decided to take medication seriously and talked to my psychiatrist. I was having Tandospirone but it wasn’t doing much so he told me to try Sertraline again (I tried once a few years ago, but had bad side effects, so switched to Tandospirone). This time I tried and felt wonderful for a few hours until I felt like I was “crashing”, had extreme anxiety, insomnia, my whole body tingling for almost 5 days. I gave up on Sertraline but now Im also scared to try new meds. Has anyone had such bad side effects? What did you do? Did you stop medications altogether?
