Fearful of Depression

Zoloft is not working for me at 150mg.  I am fearful and rather anxious.  I hate being alone and go out anyways just to be around others.  I can't believe that others are happy - I am so jealous of that feeling.  I live for the evening when I don't have to pretend to be busy and I can just mindlessly go on the computer or read a book.  Depression has taken the joy out of my life and my self confidence.  It takes its tole on how I look as I don't feel like taking care of myself.  Deciding to wash my hair takes alot of thought.  I do the basics as I don't want my husband to think I am that depressed.  He knows and has been my caregiver for 6 months, am I going to lament again to him on how crappy I feel.  Think not.  Doctor's appointment Monday and hopefully it will come out on WHY Zoloft crapped out when increased to 150mg.  100mg - Just about got my self back and hoped that increasing would only make it better.  Sorry for the rant.  I am in the doldrums and very negative at this point.

    hi nancy, when i was depressed and had anxiety, o could neber stay at home, i was alwaya out just ro be around normal people, ide look at them with envy, wanting to be like them (normal or happy)

    i thiught i was lost for good!, but im so much better now. but still on sertralime.

    if you felt better on a lower dose then stick to tje dose that made you feel better. it doeant work tjat way wjere if you take more u feel eben better.

    iys about gettimg the dose rite for you.

    its like when you dronk.alcohol you can gt merry and feel.good and wveryone drinks a different amount to het to tjat point but too much can make you feel very crap.

    i wish you well hun. xx

    You poor poor darling. Do what I am doing one day 100mg the next 150mg it might help you, when I recently increased to 150mg I had to take a week off work as my anxiety got so bad. You need something to take the edge off it. Go back to your doc & tell them how you're feeling. It's a horrible lie to be but you will get better. Don't let yourself go it's the worse thing you can do, don't let it beat you be strong & try to be positive. Keep us updated. People are gear to help you as we've all been there. Xx
