I juse can't take it anymore!!!

7 months of side effects and withdrawals topped on Derealization!!! My stomach is in such knots. I wake up around 3:30am EVERY NIGHT in a panic!!! Stomach tight and aching vthoughts everywhere... I am on Zoloft.. I just was put up to 75mg, 4 days ago... I feel WORSE!!! How the hell am I going to adjust to 100???!!!!
I NEVER feel like myself or that this is my life!!!
I use to be such a happy positive person now I sit in my dark bedroom (blankets over the windows to keep it dark), AC on high, it's probably 40 degrees in here, earphones in my ears 24/7 and surfing the Web on my phone!!! I am Full of fear about EVER THING now even using the darn bathroom!!! What is happening to me???
I fight so hard everyday to get up and out but I have such bad derealization that I feel like I'm going crazy and going to lose my mind!!! Every little physical feeling I am jumping and panicking over it...
I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE!!!
I am beginning to feel hopeless... :(

My psychiatrist was supposed to set me up with a therapist and she never did I do have support from my family but my fiance was in a bad accident so he has many physical and mental issues, my daughter has special needs and a side of that I have my mother thank God for her who has been helping with my daughter because I am not even functional anymore. do you think the Zoloft will finally kick in my psychiatrist told me but I probably need to be up to 200 mg and I'm struggling 175 feeling so anxious and jumpy and so depressed having such a hard time living minute to minute I just want to feel alive and happy again

GG,

Sorry this is still so rough! When do you next see your P-doc? Can you make a phone consult tomorrow...to let her know to the extent you are suffering the s/e's?

Have you tried the dearealization self help from the Resources yet...and are your coping skills giving you any relief?

As impossible as it may seem, forcing yourself to get up and out...and spending time around others and distraction can break the cycle of symptoms...maybe just give it a short trial?

Let us know how you are doing soon...and we will be here to encourage you.

S.C.
