You did not include the name of the drug in your question. If your question is about Sertraline tagged with the tags, please read on.
In the event that the drug has been prescribed to a healthy person by accident, you should urgently repeat the consultation with the doctor. You can also take advantage of a paid teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

However, I would like to point out that drugs with sertraline have a wider range of therapeutic indications than just anxiety or depressive disorders. They are also recommended for the treatment of, among m.in, obsessive-compulsive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder. Each time, it is the doctor who decides to recommend a specific drug after reading the patient's medical history and examining it.
The use of the drug in a healthy person may cause side effects such as sleep disorders, headaches and dizziness, mood disorders, diarrhea. The occurrence of side effects should be urgently consulted with a doctor.
I also encourage you to report any side effects of the drug. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over commercially available medicines. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
