sertraline

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?

    I wouldn't do it if I was you. The side effects are horrible and they didn't ever improve for me, especially affected my digestion which wasn't great to begin with.

    I see a lot of people here have had similar experiences. I think you should ask your GP and together you can explore other medications which will be kinder to you. Sertraline is a particularly nasty one.
