My doctor gave me sertraline(50mg) for my anxiety, it's been 3 days i been taking it but it feels way worse. i feel like i was better off without the meds, should i continue it or stop it?

Sertraline: You didn't tell us your side effects. I usually warn my patients about possible side effects they may get when they first start Zoloft which can include problems with sleep and increased anxiety. Most adapt to it fairly quickly and those side effects usually resolve. I think it may be premature to stop the medication trial.
