Please I need some reassurance
Posted , 13 users are following.
Hello everyone. I need some reassurance. I’ve been on Zoloft for about a month and a few days now. I have been needing to take a Xanax in the morning as I wake up about 5:30 am with anxiety. I also need to take one before bed. Each day I hope and pray I will feel better. I have noticed slight improvements but nothing major. I also sometimes get this odd sensation/pain on the left side of my head which causes me to have anxiety. I think the worse. I am a mom and wife and I have not felt like myself in a long time. I don’t know how much longer I can take this. I feel like the meds aren’t working or maybe I’m not being patient. Any words of encouragement would be so helpful! Thank you all.

Give it longer than a month. For me it was a very gradual improvement. I did not feel different, but I was no longer as miserable. One day I woke up and noticed that I hadn't been feeling nearly as bad. I felt more normal. Give it at least two months. Also, I hope you feel better. One thing anxiety has done to me is make me more empathic and sympathetic than ever. Almost too much. Sometimes I feel so bad for other's situations that it destroys my own happiness. Good luck.
