yes i think it is called serotonin in uk it,s sertraline. it is prescribed to make you relax & prevent anxiety.after 4 days withdrawn im feeling tired & anxious.

higger,

So why did you stop taking it? Just wondering?

Also you can just click on the word reply under this post.

You do not have to start a whole new post to reply to me. LOL

thankyou .i went to the priory in somerset u.k last weekend my ocd has been particulary bad the last few months i have seen many therapists in the u.k ,malta,italy & switzerland nobody seems to agree which meds i shouid take. i also suffer with ptsd from my old army days.

Well I will ask you this...Did you feel better when you were on the Meds?

Was it an Anti-Depressant that you were taking with the Serotonin?

Maybe if you felt better on them you can ask the Doctor to put you back on that 1 medicine while they figure out what else to do to help you?

What do you think of that suggestion?

no it is not a antidepressant i am one of the happiest blokes you will ever meet.my ptsd & ocd [dr thinks]was caused by several tours of duty with the armed forces for britain.i do not wish to go into detail but it was for several years.

higger,

People that are on anti-depressants are not always depressed.

There are other uses for anti-depressants.

There is a stereotype that people think that a person must be depressed to take an anti-depressant and that is simply not true.

Just wanted to make you aware of that.

I am so sorry you suffered.

Antidepressants aren't so bad. I take it. Just be careful it doesn't make you manic if you have bipolar!

thankyou. no i have been diagnosed with ptsd from the doctors at the m.o.d british forces,although they will not take liability for my condition,the british govt will not take responsibility for the mental health problems for ex service personnel,[unless proved to be neglent]

Oh I am so very sorry.

Sertraline is Zoloft on the US, if that is what drug you are talking about...sorry to interrupt. It is used for anxiety disorders in the us and for depression too.
