Zoloft seems to be a really good medication. You will be fine!

I can't remember the meds I have taken for anxiety, but I remember the super anxiety of taking them. I felt like I was giving in to the drug abuse cycles I was raised in and the habitual anxiety attached was mind-ripping enough to break through the strongest of pharmaceuticals and medical wisdom.

The healing mojo attached to overcoming those anxieties was enormous. I still see drugs, both illegal and legal, as a crutch, but I feel stronger for knowing crutches can help when I break my proverbial leg to stand on.

Steadying support while you find your own way through, Tay. Easy does it. Be gentle with yourself and patient with the process.

I am on Prozac. Take some deep breaths. If you have problems with the medication, you can try something else or a lower dose. Medication has improved my life a great deal. I have had GAD all my life.

Stay consistently hydrated with zoloft. It's very effective in treating the symptoms the doctor is aware of. Keep a daily journal to see what works when and the best.

I have been taking Zoloft for 30 years (I'm currently on 200mg) with good results and minimal side effects. I recommend it. Send me a friend request if you'd like to chat more.
