Hey guys just after advice on Zoloft...
I've been suffering anxiety for as long as I can remember, after my 3rd child was born it was shocking with morning heaving and lots of crying. I pushed through until he was 7months when I couldn't take the mind racing at night anymore. The dr started me on zoloft and as far as I can remember it helped. Enough that I took myself off not knowing anything about weaning or anything like that. I don't remember side effects but I do know my marriage went down the crapper but we pushed through.
A little under a year later it was back, I had a breakdown one night then morning vomiting this time, shakes , freaking out. No idea what it was I went to a dr, a new one who put me on endep 10mg then up to 25mg. I only had 1 panic attack
A little under a year and I was doing good, no morning anxiety no panic attacks.. We decided to get pregnant. The dr took me off endep.
The anxiety was back, the nausea and vomiting and shakes were back and I Lost the baby..
Straight back on endep 25mg, was doing ok so cut it to half a 25mg then I got my first period since the baby and it was constant anxiety and multiple panic attacks through the day.
Went back to my old dr who put me on zoloft.
Started 25mg 2 days, 50mgs 3 days and now 100mg 3 days.
The side effects were headache nausea and morning anxiety with nausea.. The first 2 days on 100mg sent me into a nervous shake but today so far has been good.
I originally woke up feeling great, mood felt positive. I went back to sleep and woke up with a little anxiety and freaking out thoughts about the zoloft and it makin me feel weird.
I don't think it's the zoloft I think it's the stress and anxiety making me feel blah, but my fear is feeding my anxiety.
It's day 10 in total but day 3 on 100mg, I feel like I get better everyday but this anxiety is consuming my thoughts, I constantly think about how I feel, the zoloft and getting back to normal.
My husband doesn't understand , I'm worried hell leave. He thinks because we don't have major stresses then my anxiety isn't warranted.
I guess I'm just after reassurance the zoloft is working and each day gets better..
