health anxiety with sertraline

[dadof4withanxiety]

i’ve been having terrible attacks thinking i’m dying or something’s wrong with me, i’ve been to the doctors and they can’t find anything. I keep looking up symptoms and freaking out. The doctors put me on sertraline and it’s day 5 and i’m not feeling good. has anyone been through this? I need words from someone experienced!

I've just started the same med for anxiety and health anxiety

Keep going, it takes a few weeks to adjust but it is worth it. Maybe adjust your dose? I started on a very low dose then you can increase if needed?

does your health anxiety give you physical symptoms?

Hi I have been taking Sertraline for over a year now and when I started I experienced similar reactions I spoke to the doctor who decided to increase my dose after a few weeks and when I started the higher dose I felt so much better after a couple of weeks hang in there it takes time to adjust but in the end you will feel a lot better good luck x

i’m on day 6, and i’m feeling nauseous. i woke up this morning feeling bad. i’m gonna keep taking it i’m just having a tough time.

I was the same for the first couple of weeks I had really bad nausea and my anxiety was causing my heart to pound I also struggled sleeping but then struggled getting out of bed too please give it time x
