Panic Attack Last Night and Today

[LDavis1993]

Didn’t sleep at all. It was a very light sleep. Still felt awake and crazy. Very foggy and light feeling. Feels like I’m losing touch with reality and I’m terrified. I don’t know what to do. I’m seeing my doctor today at 1:45. I was doing great for a few days. Day 12 of my 50mg on Zoloft.

Good luck at the doctor’s. Glad you have an appointment. Hang in there with the antidepressant. They take awhile to work.

Thank you. I hope it starts working soon

I only got I think a little more than an hour of sleep and I’m feeling sick and scared. I’m sorry you feel foggy and scared too. Best to you at your appointment.

Hello LDavis1993

I completely Identify with your experience. I am Older and have been successful in managing my Panic with Zoloft for a LONG TIME. I take a higher dosage than you are but not that much more as I have issues with how much I absorb. But I Started at 50 MG dose. And I felt relief after a week.

Not pushing Meds. But I had an extended panic episode ( repressed memories). I would not have gotten through without.

But please remember this....It's a Quality of life issue. You may have side effects . If they are standard you will have to decide if you can tolerate that while your body adjusts.

I understand how how scary this is. I also know that it takes other self care tools in conjunction medication.

This does not mean you have to use Meds forever ,but to help lessen the magnitude now. ALso investigate Any communities you can find. I just found this site today.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE
