Hey guys and gals, I'm fast approaching 2 weeks on Zoloft and feeling very good about myself. It's quite unusual though - I'd gotten so used to being on edge over the past few months that feeling calm and at peace without the aid of my diazepam in the wake of a panic attack is slightly weird.

It was so weird that yesterday, I took a diazepam because I felt so different, I was convinced a panic attack was coming. While it didn't happen, I just felt spaced out, which I'm supposing is the effect it would have on someone who was already calm.

I guess it's been so long since I felt this way, I'd practically accepted 'on edge' as my default state.

50mg. I was on fluoxetine for the better part of 6 or 7 months before that though.

I get that, Night. I remember my husband telling me that he could see the difference in my face. He said at first he thought I was just very tired, and then realized that my face actually looked more relaxed. It had been so long since he'd seen me that way that he didn't recognize it at first.

That was a powerful statement for me. I hope you continue to find your normal.

I too hope you continue to find your normal, it's hard sometimes to know what normal is cause we have been in such a turmoil with depression and/or anxiety. I'm glad you are noticing it and keep up the great work, you are doing awesome.
