After two weeks of sertraline............
Posted , 4 users are following.
my anxiety attack this morning was terrible. Please tell me the side effects will get better. I'm only on 25mg daily and I take at 5 pm. I am medication sensitive so that is why the lower dose. So many anxious thoughts that I can't talk myself down from. I've been trying to keep myself busy cleaning. In the morning i wake and I am just dripping wet from sweat, the sweat actually drips off my body. My chest wells up with anxieity and tightness. I'm beginning to think I made a mistake going on this med. Any help would be appreciated.

The thoughts you mentioned, that you thought the pills were going to kill you, I had those. That's how bad I felt this morning. I'm making appt with my doc on Monday to talk about side effects. But honestly I don't know what to do, if I go off of them now did I go through a period is two weeks of side effects for nothing? I just want my joy in my life to return.
Thank you for taking time to respond.

Called the nurse line at my clinic and she suggested cutting the Zoloft in half so if be taking 12.5 mg for two nights before I see doctor. I will do that.

Went to ER.treated with IV Ativan. Doc thought Xanax was just not working for the Zoloft anxiety. Feeling calmer now.
Any thoughts on Xanax vs Ativan?

Not that I am home free, I still have shakiness in my chest and limbs but nothing like the fear of losing control I had yesterday.
This forum has helped me to understand that I am going to see light at the end of the tunnel and the side effects are worth it.
The other thing that happened yesterday while in the ER is that my husband started asking questions and is getting involved now. He will be going with me to the doctor today.
Thank you.
