I just started 25mg working up to 50mg of zoloft for a panic/anxiety disorder. It is day 5. I had a horrible panic attack yesterday and had to take ativan to calm down. Does it ever end? Does the panic ever really go away? I am also getting CBT two times a week, excercise daily, and looking into finding a fulltime job. I am 22 year old by the way.

    Seth, I also suffer from panic, you are doing all the right things. Yoga and meditation could be added and journaling. It gets better, you have to believe it will not kill you and let it pass. When you fight it, it gets worse. Good Luck

      Yes I do, it took me several weeks to get passed the side effects. Can be nasty, it actually increased my panic for awhile.

      I am guessing that they made you feel better eventually though right? How long have you been taking them? I am sorry for acting like a game of 20 questions, just need some reassurances😂
