Hi all, I am now on day 4 of upping my zoloft, and last night was the worst night! I awoke to a panic attack with racing thoughts at 2 am and could not go back to sleep no matter how hard I tried. My hands are trmbling, my insides are shaking and my nerves are shot. I took a klonazapam at 5 am and it did nothing for me. I really think it's time to make the switch to something else. My doctor said we should try effexor or remeron. I am so worried that nothing is going to work for me and that I will be stuck like this forever. Please please I need some comforting advise!!!!! I've been on the zoloft for 3 weeks now!!!

I am sorry CM.:(

That sounds like an awful night!

If you docotor has given you the go ahead to switch to a new med, then I think you should do it.

You will find the right one for you...it can just take some trial and error. Frustrating when you are living with the effects daily, I am sure.

I believe that making a switch between meds that are in the same class shouldn't be as rough as starting cold...so you may transition smoothly, with little effects...think positively!

Let us know what decision you make, and how you are doing soon okay?

Coopsmom,

I'm sorry to hear about all that, I suffer the same issues. I've recently been put on cipralex I take half a pill at night it's been a week and a half and I can already see improvement with few side effects. I also take clonazepam but only when I really need in. Keep trying don't give up you will get there!

   I am a long time user of Zoloft and I will tell you that its not worth the anxiety you are going through, if you are reacting that harshly then it can't be good for you.

I wish to God I never started on all this Crap because I want off of it and its so hard.

Try something else and keep trying till you either say "NO MORE" or something works

I know you havent been on the medicine long enough to be getting any positive effects from It but if
you are having really bad reactions then switch, there are a lot of different things to take and one may
give you the help you need and not make you a wreck in the process. Peace
