Update on last week's post about driving panic: Given Setraline

Hi ladies,

So the embarrassment last week prompted me to go the docs and my appt was today. The young male doctor seemed uncomfortable at the M word and has just given me Setraline 50mg, didn't check my blood pressure and referred me back to my local GP.

I've googled it and I'm worried to take it as it says it causes increased heart rate and can increase anxiety.

My main issue is panic attacks that feel like heart attacks. So have any of you guys had it? Are the side effects bad or not?
