Went to the doctor 2 weeks back due to a lack of sleep and mental fog, thought it was related to thyroid issues. He asks how my mood is/was and I pretty much broke down. 2 weeks later, been back to see him and been prescribed Sertraline. I've probably been hiding from it for 3 - 4 years but anxiety cripples me, probably kidded myself being down was just the way I was wired. Got a pretty senior job and that doesn't help I suppose. I'm nervous about taking medicine but anything it throws at me has to be better than being a bag of nerves, wide awake at 3 in the morning, regularly forgetting people's names at work and being a sad, irritable dad...
Just read through dozens of pages here, some very brave and inspiring folk....
Let me know how you get on with the Sertraline mate, I’m 6 weeks in now using it (dosage upped to 100mg two weeks ago) and I’d be interested to see what it does for you.
