I was prescribed sertraline 50mg once a day and started 3 days ago. I m panicking and stressing over everything.

I'm questioning if I've done the right thing. As I'm a full time carer fir a disable partner. We live out in the sticks and rely on cars to get to hospital. I can't afford to be ill or fuzzy headed as I work too.

I'm feeling very flushed and headache.

Yes I've read it takes a few weeks to begin to work.

    I take sertraline and I do remember feeling a bit dizzy when I first started taking it. The dizziness did wear off in a couple of weeks. I can’t say anything about the anxiety you’re experiencing as I was in crisis when I started it anyway

    Sorry I didn't make myself very clear. The GP has diagnosed me with anxiety and depression
