   I have been on sertraline (100gms) for two months now and am really not noticing all that much difference. Slightly less nervous but not enough. Has anybody experience on these drugs. I was previously on Venlafaxine which I actually found better and am wondering whether to go back on them.

   Hi there, did you have any luck on the Sertraline?

   I have just come off Lofepramine as the side effects weren't helping although I think they may have been helping slightly. Not on anything at the moment and not sure on what to do next as I am now feeling a bit more tense and on edge again.

   Hi jlc

   I am not on sertraline any more. I am now on venlafaxine which are very good. I say very good, but I am not entirely free of anxiety even now. But better than before. I may ask my GP to go back on Sertraline as they seemed to be working quite well towards the end, before I switched to Venlafaxine. Anyway good luck with taking nothing - probably the best in the long run, if you can manage it. All the best

   Hi

   Yes, I was also on Amitriptilene and I am afraid they clashed. I had a reaction and had to stop. My sysmptoms were suggestive of an underlying disease so they were not needed. I did not know the two could clash, so am glad I stopped them/ Perhaps you need to ask doctor for a review?
