Suggest Side Effects Of Daxid 0.5mg Drug For Anxiety And Depression

Hi. I have been advised to take daxid 0.5mg for a week because of anxiety and depression. Doctor said my brain is triggering fear on its own and causing the body to react as it would in case of real danger. I am experiencing mood swings and slight muscle twitching after taking this medicine. Really scared of side effects from this medicine. Could you tell me if its okay to continue this medication?

Hello.Sertraline is an effective medication to treat anxiety and depressive symptoms.Adverse effects are rare and disappear over time. The only adverse effect to consider is that can increase blood pressure numbers in people
suffering from high blood pressure.I recommend you continue taking the medication.
I wish you good health.
