Hey there Vanessa, please keep us all updated on how you are feeling. I like to read other people's stories of success for reassurance. I'm only on day 16 and it's been a rough ride. My anxiety is the source of my depression as well. ..

I hope I can give you all the reassurance you need Lindsay, one day. I had a very rough week, I was only being treated for anxiety but it seems I'm having low mood a lot lately. I had a very good week last week. Maybe the meds are getting ready to really kick in now. I have been on here when I have good days, to give people that reassurance that it will get better and I hope to be able to do that quite often in the future. It'll be 8 weeks for me on Tuesday, I pray that is the sweet spot for me. Have you noticed any positive difference in your mood or anything yet?

Thanks for the reply! You say you were on zoloft for 7 years and it helped..when did you stop taking it? I have been on cymbalta for the last 6 years but recently had to wean off that because I'm pregnant. I was fine for about a month after being off but I've had complications with my pregnancy and I had to quit my job that I love. My hips and pelvis are in so much pain that I can barely walk. (From the pregnancy)I think all that has caused me to fall into this horrible spiral of anxiety and depression! The anxiety and depression hit me hard out of nowhere one day and it scared the hell out of me! I knew it was a relapse because it was exactly how I felt 6 years prior when I had to get on cymbalta. I only dealt with the anxiety/depression for about 4 or 5 days before I called my OB and begged to get back on an AD. There have been maybe 2 days since I've started zoloft that I've had a glimmer of hope but then my thoughts take over and I get discouraged and depressed. I hate this! It's scary as hell and I'm afraid I'm never going to feel normal again!

I understand your fear, I have it some days too. I had a relapse while I was still taking it at 100 mg. there was a fire burning our city in May and we had to be evacuated and it was so traumatic. About a month after that, I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance because I had signs of a stroke, thank God it wasn't. All I can say is emotionally, it took me down. About a week after, my husband and I returned to the city that we had to run from a couple months before and I totally broke. Went to my doctor and he changed my 100 mg to 150 mg and I have been on that for almost 8 weeks now. I just want my life back, as I'm sure you do too.

How long have you been taking it and what dose? I have to believe it's working because I'm not getting worse and I am seeing some improvement, though it is sporadic. I'm coming up on my 8th week now and I would love to see a big change in my thinking and that darn knot in my stomach.

Yes when you have a physical illness also, that plays with your mind. I have Graves' disease so I understand exactly what you're talking about. Please keep me updated, if I see you getting better then I can feel hope and I can do the same for you. I pray that our stories are successful sooner rather than later.
