First 2 weeks on Zoloft. Someone give me hope please
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi everybody
I was switched from Pristiq to Zoloft 2 weeks ago as I had 4 very bad episodes in 12 months on Pristiq.
Days 7-11 where great... but the panic and anxiety are back and very very very difficult to deal with. I'm taking Seroquel to manage and it makes me so tired it's hard to function.
Please give me some light at the end of the tunnel!!

That gives me hope.
I am going to see a hypnotherapist tomorrow.
At the moment I'm willing to try anything that may help!

I'm sitting here with this hot weight on my chest and I'm tense all over.
I can not shake it.
It's so horrible

I have seroquel and valium tho I am very careful with the valium as I don't want to be addicted.
I just want it to go away.
I am trying to tell myself to accept the waves of it when it comes and it will pass.
But they keep on coming

Also I find if you distract yourself it helps a bit. When I felt that constant anxiety I would sit outside on my porch, play a game, call a friend.. Anything to take my mind off of it for a second. I also discovered Bexlife on YouTube. She is a meditation and yoga teacher and her videos have been really helpful! There is one about panic and anxiety that I watch daily.
I hope some of this helps you! If you need to talk please message me.

Thank you so much for your help.
I am taking the valium when things get really bad.
The Dr recommended I keep the seroquel up until things improve.
I have just woken up and it's the worst

Today has been another difficult day. But I saw a hypnotherapist who gave me some guidance. She said that when I feel it coming say hello to it, thanks for warning me but I'm fine.. I'm in control. I've tried it a few times today and it's very difficult.
I am just hoping that everyday will get a little easier.

I'm sorry you're having another rough day. I wish there was something I could do to help take it away. A lot of the meditation videos that I watch tell you to welcome the anxiety and say thank you and then move on but its so hard to do. It definitely takes practice. Have you tried meditation?

Sorry for the late response.
I have tried meditation but it is very difficult to get through with my daughter wanting something whenever I'm not in the room.
And then it's hard to take the lessons into the day when the anxiety is really bad
