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.

      Good morning Ida,

      Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better. I haven't done anything as to the app doctors, no experience there. But you have to do what you think is right. I guess it never hurts to get as much info as possible. I wish I was more help there. Let me know how it goes. Stay strong, take care.

      Hi Ida,

      Glad to hear that it went well. The diet thing I definitely understand. I also have interstitial cystitis which means there are lots of things I can't eat anymore. My stress level is real high today. Needless to say pop another ativan. The past few days have been bad, with sick pets and a sick son

      The weather is horrible and I just can't get out of this mood. So I guess this will be a real test on the Zoloft.lol. Hopefully the step you took will be just what you needed. Take care hang in there.😎

      No problem, and yes yes yes, for all of us with this terrible condition and the side affects that go with zoloft. That we start to feel like our true selfs again.

      Hello Ida,

      Was wondering how you are doing and if your Zoloft is working for you yet. Mine seems to work here and there. But it's still early in the game. I have noticed that my heart seems to pound when ever I get alittle overwhelmed. This could be a normal thing in life. It's been so long since I've been normal that I just don't know how to feel. Sounds nuts but true. Anyway hope your feeling better.

      Hello Ida,

      So sorry to hear about the morning monster (that's what I call it) I too get it. I think that we are so nervous about how the day is going to go that we get ourselves worked up, hence comes the anxiety. I too like spring but it's been really cold, can't do much outside. Being stuck inside doesn't do much for my frame of mind. I read about all the people who say that this drug really works, been waiting . I do get a better sleep, and my mind seems less cluttered but anxiety just won't give in. I'm determined to win this war. Hope you have a better day. Hang in there.😇

    Keep going on the lowest dose you can. I used propanol 10mg if I had physical symptoms from anxiety , increased blood pressure , hot tight chest , show breathing, and occasional diazepam 2mg for times when my mind was scattered. As the Sertraline and my other self supportive activities (yoga, walking etc) started to have a positive effect the need for propane and diazepam has almost stopped. Good luck. Keep a positive journal. You may soon note the things that are improving rather than dwell on what isn't ? .

      Your right jo, I should think of the positive affects and not negative. I guess great things come to those who wait. I have ativan to take when it gets to bad. But somewhere I read that it could take six months to really feel like yourself again. Thanks for the input. I appreciate any king of info I can get.
