Hey, my name Matt and I'm 18.
I have been a very anxiouse person all my life and in the last few years been diagnosed with anxiety. I have just started on an SSRI (Sertraline 50mg) a day as my anxiety and constant panic atacks a week were ruining my life and my job. Ive been on the Sertraline for 3 days and the 2 weeks introductory period is already doing my head in. Im very fidgedy, stressed, on edge and angry, stomach craps, no appetite, and worse panic atacks (also feeling very clouded). Not to mention going insane stuck at home. Will be going out tomorrow night and have told my self I will only have 3-4 drinks and no more, over the 5 - 6 hour period, which my doctor said should be ok as I have anxiety and not depression. Anyway I would really like to get some stories to boost my mood, and reasure me that its going to work, because its got to the point where It really is ruining my life. I've already lost my job and am also starting CBT. Thanks Guys xxx
