Julie there is a lot of medications out there that may help. I have been on 6, started my last one about 4 weeks ago. The hardest part about it is they typically take a while to know if they are helping or not. I find it hard to start a new one every time the last one doesn’t help, I feel even more beaten and lost helpless and a failure. But time and time again I eventually seek help to try something. The plain fact is, if you need help, seek help, it’s out there. Doctors will work with eating, sleeping, etc disorders as well. I suffered from bulimia for short time period in my early college life and my dr started me on new meds and I met with a nutritionist. I couldn’t Afford the up keep with it but regardless, they will always help.

To get back to your original post. I have been on Zoloft. I took it for about 10-14 weeks. It personally did not help my anxiety but did manage my depression for a short time. But it’s all about you, how your brain and the chemicals in your brain respond. Zoloft may be the answer or it may be something else. I haven’t found my answer yet but it’s out there. I know we can all go on to live normal lives. At least that’s what I have to believe right now or I might not keep it together

I have been on Zoloft for 6 years. I take 75mg daily. It helped me recover from 40 years of Anorexia and controls my PTSD. I love it. Of course, there is no wonder drug. It took me six years of therapy and mental doctor to recover. I will be a life forever event I am sure.
