Hi everyone,
I am on zoloft 50, it's been 4 weeks. Was starting to feel some what human again until two hours ago. Went to take a nap, was feeling good. Woke up and was hit with anxiety almost to and attack. I went and took my ativan, first time today. So my question is, what happened and did anybody else have this experience. Any comments would be appreciated.

Hi. I'm not sure my comment will be any benefit to you. I was on sertraline for 7 weeks. Slow increases until 100mg. My anxiety calmed but side effects were just to much to deal with mainly constant diarrhea. I have changed meds and am now a week into venlafaxine which seems to be doing a better job so far but still early days x

Good morning Ida,
Had a decent day yesterday, actually went shopping but still had a shake here and there. But I consider that a bit better. But today is starting out not so good. I really don't understand how I can have a decent day and the next not so much. So sorry to hear you had a bad night. Why oh why can't we all just feel good. I sometimes think that the anxiety is coming from not knowing if or when we can begin our lives again. Yep think I'm alittle down today. Thank you for asking,

Hi Ida
Was just wondering if your day leveled out for you today. My day was the pits. Hoping you start feeling better. We gotta be strong, we can't let this beat us.

I was wondering why the beginning of the day is always seem to be bad, by 7 PM it eases up. I feel like my head is spinning trying to figure this drug out. Have you noticed any fatigue or like it gets harder to do anything. It's hard to explain, just not right. I just think that I'm overwhelmed with this drug. Sorry here I go again, rambling. Hope it starts to work for us.

Hello Ida,
Hoping that you are improving some. I agree with you on taking something to take the edge off,I take ativan. If it wasn't for that I'd probably would have gave up on zoloft. Each day is a new adventure with it. Unfortunately not a good one. My doctor said to not let the stress overwhelm me, yea right, like that's going to happen. But I'm praying that we all start feeling better. Take care,be strong.

Hi Ida,
What I do is, I get notified on my email. I save it and when I want to reply to you i just bring it back up. I know its probably not the fastest but it works for me and my not so tech savvy brain. Hope this helps.😁

Not to bad today considering the morning I had. I just popped an ativan and off I go. I actually drove today, that was a big step for me. Now tomorrow is a big mystery. With this drug who knows , waiting for the day that we will all feel like ourselves. Hang in there, you got me and others that will support you. 🤗
