Cannot enjoy good things in life

[Geodog]

I can’t figure it out. I want to be happy, enjoy life. But I lay here, depressed, weepy, and finding fault with what good things are happening in my life. It’s like I have had life long training that I deserve only sad bad things in my life.

My Doc upped my Zoloft to 150 mg but it did not make any difference. I take 100 mg gaba for anxiety, but I am tempted to start drinking again after a year of sobriety. I am a mess.

Does your GP know you are taking GABA ? It seems you are having too much serotonin ?

[Geodog in reply to lillyofthevalley37]

Yes, I told him 100 mg, and he said I can take up to 300 mg. I might ask him about the Zoloft dosage. Thanks!

Thanks for the encouragement to not take that drink. I have never taken klonopin, so I’m not very familiar with it. Does it normally kick in quickly?

I have taken klonapin for years for sleep. Doctors don't like to prescribe it because it's a benzo but it helps me. I think it takes about 30 mins. to kick in.

Same here, i have no motivation to do anything that i used to enjoy.

I still enjoy going outside when weather is nice, I don’t leave the yard.

I was upped to 150 but had to give it another 6 weeks until I felt an effect.... you have to be patient w these meds... how are you doing today??Drinking is not the solution... tho I understand your pain. Believe me.

Keep us posted. Xoxo

Hi, yes, i feel the increased dose has finally kicked in, and I am doing much better. I still need to find a new therapist, the one I was seeing said they don't care if I have panic attacks, or if I drink alcohol. Not really supportive.

I know what you mean. I desperately want to enjoy life again. To feel like things flow instead of being stuck. I hope the spring weather helps us both. Except I'm in Wyoming and it is snowing, blowing and cold! But it will end and warm up before too long.
