GP has just given me a prescription of sertraline as my anxiety is pretty bad as it my obsessive checking (of the body due to health anxiety). I have had anxiety for 10 years and always turned medication down and tried other things which have worked for a time but this time I can't really see anything I can change (life is pretty good really).
Planning to start taking them after my camping trip this week. Am concerned about side effects, coming off them, what they might do to my personality short and long term.
Any hints/tips/stories to make me feel like taking these pills isn't a mistake?
