I have horrible anxiety and panic attacks so I finally went to the doc and she put me on 25mg of Zoloft. I take one every night before bed. The first couple days/weeks went by fantastic because she also gave me  Clonazepam (Klonopin) to help me while the zoloft kicked in. Now I'm out of clonazepam and feeling as if I'm dying. I see a therapist in a few days but as of now I'm dreading it because of how I'm feeling right now. I haven't left bed in two days. No energy to do anything all I want to do is cry and sleep days away. Has anyone felt like this? What should I do to get me through this struggle till I see the doctor again at the end of the month?

    How long have you been on the tablets now Kelly?  Can you not get in to a doctor sooner to get another script of the Klonopin.  I had to get another script of Serepax the drug I got to help with the first few weeks.

      About almost a month. 3 weeks. I called the nurse today and asked to a emergency refill to go through to my doctor, I don't know till the morning. I'm scared and really thinking about just going to the ER. I can't get in any sooner.

      I was at my worst at about 3 weeks ....  I ended up back at the doctor and thats when I got the script for another course of the Serapax.   I hope you can get an emergency appointment if not do what you have to do and if thats go to the hospital then do it.   I really feel for you.  I am 7 weeks tomorrow and back to feeling great so hopefully you will be the same and in the next couple of weeks start feeling good.    I was mainly bad anxiety aswell and I have none now its quite amazing really.

      Thank you. It really does make me feel a bit better knowing I'm not the only one with this problem although I wouldn't wish it on anyone to go through this lol I'm going to try to sleep and hopefully will hear good news when I wake up. I'm glad you're feeling better smile anxiety is the worst.

    Hi Kelly,

    I feel for you, I know how your feeling. Seeing the therapist will hopefully help you, I think just talking to someone helps. I know its hard kelly, but where always here to listen and help in way we can. Dont ever feel your alone I know its easier said than done sometimes. I'm off at work at the moment, I'm finding it a real struggle. Feeling awful my body and head is in so much pain. I dont know which is worst the affects of depression or this pain. Just trying to get through this part until I start taking fluxotine.
