i know it can be hard to talk about it, especially if what you're treating is anxiety, but your concerns are valid and medical professionals need to respect how their patients feel and be willing to have a conversation with them, that should be the bare minimum.  that being said, i would call/schedule an appointment and maybe request they start you out at a low dosage or that you try another SNRI?
he literally gave me the choice between sertraline and duloxetine and i chose the second option cus i have already tried sertraline and it didn't do much. i kinda got the impression that these were the two meds he was working with, i dont think there would be another option
Did he say why? 

Ask why they want you on certain drugs and never be afraid to ask for another option 

I had a psychiatrist afraid to give me an SSRI for hypomania concerns and I was like "I think I was misdiagnosed, can we try just the ssri? If I act hypomanic I will take a mood stabilizer" and he agreed 

You have to learn to be assertive. Also I would tell him ur pasr reactions to the sertraline if you havent already 
i think he said something like it was the best he had to offer idk?? but really i dont know enough about medication like that to be asking those questions.

i told him i had been on sertraline for five years and it didnt do enough for my anxiety so he agreed we should try the other option

my friend just told me she's starting on duloxetine and said it's probably going to completely mess up her sleep and increase hunger + with her and ssri/snri it's unforeseen for the meds not to take away the ability to have an orgasm. the side effects sounds pretty rough if they hit you hard, i wouldn't start this medication before trying out anything with less burdening side effects. but obviously it's different for everyone and i have no idea how many meds you've tried out. good luck, hope you find a medication that suits you.

Good. Also you can ask him for phamlets 

The more we talk I cannot tell if you're just really anxious and thus scared of the worst case scenario  or if this dude isnt a right fit 

Definitely keep telling your therapist your concerns. This is brand new and I know how scary it is, but time will tell if this is all in your head or if you need a new doctor and drug.

Keep monitoring the bad feeling, if it doesnt go away it's more than just anxiety for sure 

Anxiety sucks it's hard to know if you're really in danger or if your mind is just playing tricks on you
