Since I switched 2 days ago due to insomnia I have been waking up SO anxious it makes me feel like I'm at square one again. I have been on Zoloft today 24 days...
Is it more likely my body is just adjusting to morning dose I'm sleeping much better already and I don't want to go back to night time :(.

I don't know what to do, I don't even know if the meds are beneficial I have been on for almost 4 weeks and still get panic attacks not anxious like I was before but still..... Ugh.

Hi!

I don't really think this is related to the time change, I did it a couple of times myself while on meds but never experienced increased anxiety.

Waking up with panic/anxiety is apart of having anxiety and it can come and go. I don't think it is related to anything other than what your brain is doing during sleep :) which we never know lol

I recommend you to give meds and of course yourself a bit time to adjust everything.
I know it causes frustration sometimes having a bit more anxiety during meds, but I promise it will reduce A LOT in time (it changes for everyone, for me it was like 3 months).

Hi


It can take 6-8 weeks before you see the full benefit of the medication so in the meantime double up on your coping skills. If things don't start improving in another week I would go back and speak with your doctor.

D.,

I agree with the above...and am sending my encouragement to keep pushing forward.:) Double up on your coping skills...and seek to add in some new ones to increase your progress.

You will hopefully see a turn around soon! Stay positive and hopeful.
