So i've been on zoloft for a few months. Lately it doesn't seem to be working as well. I thought about telling my doc to up the mgs but I also admit to no taking very good care of myself. The med worked so good I just stopped doing my breathing and relaxing excersices. My anxiety symptom are back not as bad but it still sucks.
I feel 100% better. This is my 4th week on zoloft and it works great for me. Doesn't take away all the anxiety but sure does take the edge off. Continuing in therapy and doing my homework. Positive thinking is whats worked the most for me. I've got a long way to go but i'm certainly out of the fog and negative thinking.
So last week the Agency I work for had its annual in-service convention. Tons of people, 2 hour seminars and over crowded rooms! I knew from the start it was going to be a ruff day. I left the house positive that I could deal with this. Early morning went ok, I sat near the door. But an hour into my first seminar the panic hit me. I sat there for about 30 minutes trying to think positive and do my breathing. Finally I had to leave the room. The rest of the day went better than that and I didnt have to run out of any more rooms. I did take bathroom breaks here and there just to give myself a little break. After it was all over and I was back at home I was feeling a little disappointed I wasn't able to do better.
On a brigther note I hit my 1 week mark on my zoloft and I have to say I'm starting to feel the difference. Most people have noted that it may take up to 4 week or even longer for the med to take full effect. My weekend was actually the best weekend i've had since my anxiety started. Today (monday) i'm feeling a little dizzy and having some other symptoms. My long trek towards recovery continues.
