Around two years ago I started taking Seroxat because I was dealing with anxiety+ panic attacks for few years because of college, I graduated but still continue to take them for few months to complete the one year course and get off them gradually and everything was fine.
Three months ago I went through a breakup and I felt really bad, at the beginning I thought it’s just a bad thing happened therefore I’m feeling sad and mildly depressed, but three months later it didn’t get any better and I think I’m having symptoms of depression, not mild anymore but not severe and I’m really afraid that it would just go worse from here so I talked to a doctor and he said it better to go back to the meds since I have history with mental health and the pills worked for me in the past (I don’t know if two years ago I started to get better because of the meds or just because the main reason of the anxiety ended or both). So he prescribed me Sertraline starting with 25mg then 50mg after 5-10 days+ Mirtazapine to help my sleeping schedule when needed.
I don’t know if I should take them, I’m afraid it will get worse because of the side effects but also afraid my depression will get worse if I didn’t.
I also tried to work on myself during these 3 months but failed, I have 0 motivation and energy to do anything at this point.
Any experiences or advices?
