Abstract :
Here, we report our experience with patients in whom jitteriness/anxiety syndrome developed immediately following the start oforal sertraline administration. Administration was discontinued in these patients on day 2, and the jitteriness/anxiety syndromeimproved the following day. Jitteriness/anxiety syndrome may develop immediately following oral administration of even low dosesof sertraline, and improvement can be expected if sertraline is promptly discontinued.
