Which ones they keep trying to give me Zoloft and Hydroxyzine

[Katnessx in reply to Denise7_11]

Sorry not medication, meditation! There is a great app I use called Calm. Just 10 minutes a day to focus on yourself and your breathing, makes the world of difference. As for medication I currently take Sertraline which helps me x

Do you find that hydroxyzine actually works? I get that and it is only useful for sleep. I take Ativan for when my anxiety gets really bad but I use phenibut and noopept during the week to get through work. At night to sleep I take hydroxyzine or benadryl to sleep.

It makes me really sleepy

I’m just scared to take the medication I read the side effects

I would recommend that you speak with the prescribing physician about your fears of the side effects. Are you seeing a therapist or licensed counselor, they may be able to help you find some coping strategies besides medication.

Maybe some of the strategies found in this article would be helpful for you? bit.ly/2IyQWjA. Hope that helps!
