I was on Endep for over a yr, the dr told me to quit cold turkey when i fell pregnant. The anxiety came back worse n i lost the baby.

I went back on Endep and didnt like how i felt on 25mg so i weaned down to 12.5 and felt ok for 2 weeks, so i cut it to a quarter and it all went back to crap. I tried going back to half but it didnt help. Finally the dr put me on zoloft instead...

Its been 6 weeks on 100mg, although i feel alot better then i did i still dont feel right if that makes sense. I dont know if its fear of depersonalization or what but i still seem to try and focus hard on the people and my surrundings. I know it sounds nuts but its very annoying, it used to send me into a panic which doesnt happen now, i just find it irrtating.

Does SSRI's work after you have used a Tricylic AD..( cant spell the tricylic part) :)

Ninlow,

I am sorry to hear that your Rx struggle is continuing...and for the background story behind all of the changes that started it all.:( That is a lot to have gone through.

I the Zoloft the first SSRI that you have tried? I have never heard of there being a problem going from one family of med to another...but this particular drug just may not be working as well as you had hoped yet.

You could give it another couple of weeks, or you could consult with your doctor about a possible change.

Are you finding any relief from doing your coping mechanisms? I find that breathing exercises and positive mantras really help me when I am dealing with the symptoms and emotions such as you described.

I hope that you get the relief and answers that you need soon. Keep us posted, and we will keep encouraging you.:)

S.C.
