Same here! I can’t believe I avoided meds for the last 3 years trying to deal with my anxiety by myself. After about 6 weeks the med liked in and I feel the best I’ve felt in years. I’m out of my dark place an feel so happy and optimistic about everything. I’m more positive and nothing really bothers me anymore.

Glad you are feeling better!

Are u also using Zoloft? I’m in my third week and also my insomnia has improved sooo much. I also take Vistaril and Buspar. I know it’s a lot but it’s better than having anxiety and insomnia which was terrible before. My mood has improved a lot so far and I feel more motivated.

Just wanted to thank you for your post! I'm going to start medication in a few weeks and I've been nervous about it. I know everyone reacts differently to different medications but seeing any successful story makes me hopeful.

Medication helps many people. The first week I started Zoloft I was very sleepy and had nausea but that went away quickly. I only have had anxiety for like one day since I started. I’m now on my 3rd week at 50 mg.

Yea if u have anxiety, ocd, or depression they’ll most likely prescribe you an ssri. It helps seratonin stay where it’s supposed to in the brain longer which balances out the chemicals in people who feel unhappy, suicidal and hopeless.
