Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Hey everyone,
I need peoples opinions on something. So I finally went to my doctor about my anxiety and panic attacks and he prescribed me zoloft. I've always been weary of using pills for anything but I need to know if it's worth going on it because I'm being told if I decide to it has to be a commitment. I can't miss the pills for any reason and it's a scary thought thinking I'd have to take it the rest of my life. I guess I'd like to know if there are others in this group where taking zoloft or another antidepressant has actually worked and supports using it. I haven't taken the 1st pill yet but I have a bottle of it. Thoughts?

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.

No, you don't have to take it the rest of your life. I think you are getting ahead of yourself :) Take the Zoloft but keep in mind that it will take a few weeks for the benefits to kick in, so be patient to reap the rewards.
I don't think the doctor meant to say it in that way.... they meant take your daily dose, don't skip doses.
We're here to support you! I have heard Zoloft is a great drug and to tell you the truth, I am thinking of going on it, too.
Good for you! You will be just fine!
Also keep a daily journal so you can see the difference it makes.
Keep us posted on how you are doing. Remember that it takes a few weeks to see the benefits of the medication. That's just how those SSRIs work.
Good luck.
