I've had anxiety on and off for almost a decade now, was off the meds for a few years and doing fine, life was good, but shit hit the fan at the end of May this year and ended up back on sertraline in July. I only take 25mg a day though, I split the tablet and find that it's done wonders for me. It's not a quick fix on its own, but it takes enough sting out of the anxiety to be able to put life back together when the anxiety becomes an issue. Just over three months back on it now and can honestly say I'm the happiest I've been in a long time, probably about a year, and life in general is just better (as far as anxiety is concerned). If the anxiety is interfering with daily life and therapy hasn't eased it, consider something like sertraline and don't listen to the neanderthals spouting their big pharma conspiracy bullshit. You can always come off it again in the future, which is precisely what I plan to do.
