hi, my doctor wants to start me on 50mg of sertraline for a few months for depression and anxiety. I've done some research into it and the side effects, however most ND people seem to have had negative effects. are there any autistic people on here that it has actually been helpful and worked for?
Over the years I've been on Citalopram, Propanolol, Sertraline and Mirtazapine to address my anxiety and its revolting by-product, hyperhidrosis. None of them have had any positive noticeable effect on me which may well be down to my ASD but of all of them, Sertraline caused far more trouble than it tried to solve.
I don't take any anxiety medication at the moment, I just live with it as best I can and avoid triggering situations wherever possible.
Is it possible to be specific about the troubles setraline caused?
