What are your symptoms?

[1isthisjustfantasy1]

I've finally gone to the doctors after spending the last few months progressively feeling worse.
I have a constant headache, neck ache, I have bad dreams every night so never get a good sleep, I feel constantly nauseous, my heart is always racing, everything seems so loud and I'm generally absolutely exhausted.
My doctor has put me on 50g Serteraline, an antidepressant, I'm so hesitant about taking it because.I can't bear the thought of feeling any worse than I do, I feel as if I'm barely holding on and am ready to snap at any time.
Does anyone who has had a similar experience to me have any advice on ways I can help myself?
I already practice mindfulness techniques such as mediation that just don't seem to be helping at all lately. I start my tablets tomorrow and am dreading it, I also have an appointment in a few weeks with my local wellbeing clinic

Hi , I’ve been battling anxiety for months now, I finally went to the doctors for help thee weeks ago. I was given the same tablets and dose as you . I haven’t had any bad side affects from the tablets and they are now finally starting to work for me .
Try them , given them a go. You can always go back to the doctors and tell them that they don’t suit you and another tablet would be better. But give them ago first .
Good luck . I hope you get on welll and you start to feel better soon
