Hey all - been reading a lot of these boards recently but it’s my first post. Does anyone else have a fear / anxiety about taking medication that’s designed to help? 

I was prescribed sertraline 50mg months ago for my depression, but had the worst panic attack in the evening after one that I’ve been scared to take them again. There were a lot of feelings I haven’t felt before whilst having the attack that made me more anxious. 

But things have got really bad recently with my anxiety and panic attacks and the doctor has told me to try the sertraline again at 25mg (up to 50mg after a week) but at the same time take diazepam at 2mg up to four times a day for a week / 10days and see how I get on. To counter the anxiety of taking them and help the side effects.

On top of that I’ve been given propranolol at 10mg to take as and when needed up to four times a day. I haven’t taken propranolol before and that’s giving me anxiety on how I will react. Only thing I know I’m comfortable taking is 5mg diazepam as and when in full panic attack mode. 

Not sure what I’m asking, just if anyone else has felt the same and how they got over it.

Thanks 

TL:DR 
Scared / anxious of taking medication that is designed to help me as I fear having a panic attack if they make me feel weird or different or like I’m losing control.
