Feeling a little better - 2nd day of Zoloft
Mentally feeling much better than I did yesterday and last night. I confessed everything I've been thinking to my mom who didn't freak out like I thought she would. I found a group that meets near me for people with anxiety - I'm skeptical though. Will go tonight and see what it's all about. Zoloft (I assume) woke me up at 2 am and I didn't sleep well after that. I normally sleep the night through with no problems. Woke up feeling like I have RLS, but instead it was all over Restless Syndrome ha. I feel pretty tired and on speed at the same time. I don't like it but I will definately take this over obsessive dark thinking. I also started a visualization thing last night. Once I start to have an obsessive thought I imagine this smiling budda looking guy taking the thought out of my head and putting it in a box and putting it on a shelf. The whole time he has a smile ear to ear, like he knows it's just anxiety and he's here to help and he knows that I'm going to get through it. I'm not buddist but I sometimes wonder how my mind comes up with this stuff? heh. Be well

Hey,
I take 200 mg of Zoloft and have no side effects from it. In fact I\'ve missed taking it a few times and didn\'t notice any difference in my mood. If you\'re getting bad side effects from it you should go back and see your doctor ASAP! There are other SSRIs that may be better for you. My wife has taken Effexor for four years and has done excellent on it. It did take a few weeks to become fully effective but it\'s been truly wonderful for her. You shouldn\'t have to put up with horrible side effects in order to clear out the Dark Thoughts. Get to your doctor sweetheart okay? I\'ll be prayin\' for ya.
Love Ya and Big Hugs, Chris
Thank you Chris :)
