Sertraline

[Lalalalasee]

Thinking of starting it as citalopram was only taking the edge off my anxiety. Doc got me to taper off citalopram over 2 weeks and said to start sertraline after that. I haven't actually started yet. I've been 3 weeks with nothing. I have bad physical withdrawals and I am extremely anxious. Not sure whether to wait it out or to try out the sertraline.

Pros would be that it might work and the anxiety I am experiencing with abate

Oops posted too early...

Cons seem to be the horrible effects it causes in the first week (and forever?) and the loss of sex drive it seems from the other thread!!

I can't decide what's worse-the side effects or feeling like this

Ideally I'd be on nothing at all as I did feel dulled mentally by being on citalopram for years. But feeling as anxious as I do is miserable.

DH wants me to wait and see how I feel once
I've got the citalopram out of my system and there is some sunshine and we get some time off work in July. I'm getting cross with him because he keeps putting this idea forward and I want to feel supported whichever decision I choose to make
