Some people are sensitive to the side effects of medications more than others. It differs patient to patient. It's better to stop sertraline and give you some other medication for anxiety and depression. Many options are available. Depending on your symptoms we can advise what would best work for you. Please consult a psychiatrist.

Dear lybrate-user, did you have dry mouth, headache, racing thoughts, jittery and agitation before taking desvenlafaxine or sertraline? Yes, you did have - they are all anxiety symptoms. Instead of googling side effects of the tablets, please google mixed anxiety depressive disorder, adrenaline reaction, stress management, recurrent major depressive disorder, etc. Please consult your doctor so that sertraline dose can be increased to an effective dose.
