I want to give up.

sorry to keep posting guys but feeling pretty desperate

I'm about 16 days of sertraline 50mg, swapping from citalopram

the past few days have been getting increasingly difficult with worse anxiety and mood. yesterday I had a panick attack and it's got do bad today I had to send my 5 year old back home to his mum and feel so guilty about it.

I'm really struggling and everyone says to carry on. will it get easier because I dont know how long I can feel like this.

      gs can you tell me what is the differnce between sertraline and the last ssri you where taking .which one of them to you is the wore?

    • Posted

      Well Zoloft seems more stimulating effect on me. I feel wired but tired feeling.

      Celexa was more sedating.

      I think i slept better on celexa but always tired.

      anxiety has to be combated with sedating ssris.as anxiety Symptoms are an upper while the Depression is a downer.that wired feeling happen to me on effexor.it was horrible i felt like i was in a bad tripp that never went away.

      Yeah lois that sounds like me.

      Wired and tired which doesnt help my situation at all.

      Thanks!

      thats why you gotta stick to one because all the ssris come with the same drama.

    • Posted

      Yeah lois but this seems more drama so far on top of everything.

      I feel it daily . I even saying i cant do this anymore .

      I know they are drama . Im acting like drama now to my family .

      Zoloft sounds similar to your effexor you were on.

    • Posted

      that is why i cold turkey that effexor.i dont recommend any one doing that.and out of all the meds i try believe it or not celexa was the easiest for me.

      Im experiencing everything heightned up and scaring me.

      Thanks!

      it's the anxiety and the tablets it will pass buddy x it will. take a benzo just to help for an hour or two x might help you calm down a bit and not be so worried x we have to keep going gs it will work x
