Hello all. I know there’s a thread for Sertraline but can’t find one for Propranolol so hope it’s ok to post.
I’ve been on Sertraline (for anxiety) for around 3 months. Was advised by GP to up my dosage from 50mg to 75mg. I’ve felt shocking since. Been signed off from work, no motivation to do anything and had some very dark and scary thoughts recently. Which isn’t in my nature at all.
Spoke to my GP and was advised to ween off the Sertraline and start Propranolol (10mg 3 times per day). Has anyone been in a similar position? I’m hoping now I’m off Sertraline the depression will subside. I’m also having telephone counselling sessions.

I only started feeling depressed/low moods/dark thoughts since taking the sertraline. I was initially prescribed it for anxiety. But since taking it, it just hasn’t agreed with me so GP’s trying me with Propranolol as I suffer from chest tightness, palpitations and just can’t relax due to feeling anxious. So was just wondering if anybody else had been in the same position.
