My GP had me on sertraline for a few months but I was sure it was making my anxiety worse. I was clenching my jaw and grinding my teeth a lot, to the point I developed TMJ which was soooo painful and I had more social anxiety than I've ever experienced.
I decided to taper off it and every time I decreased my dose my anxiety eased up. I've been off it for a week now and it feels like the social anxiety side has completely gone, I'm back to normal! My general day to day anxiety is back to a manageable level 
  
Has anyone else experienced this with sertraline? My GP was really defensive(?) about it and seemed to suggest I must be wrong, because sertraline is used for anxiety disorders... I had to taper off it myself because she refused and told me to stay on it, and was adamant I'd feel worse off it
