Med switch seems to have worked

[Kat63]

I started Zoloft (transitioning from Prozac) on Saturday. By Monday, I thought I was doing better. By today (Tuesday), I’m sure of it.

I probably needed to switch meds six months ago.

I still let outside events and other people’s behaviour influence my moods too much. But the medicine is helping me to remember that, and do things to stop it.

One way I can tell: Today is Election Day in the U.S. Just a few days ago, that thought terrified me and overwhelmed me. Today, I’m feeling a lot better (considering what day it is.)

Yesterday was the anniversary of my mother’s death. I’ve been missing her, but not with the all-consuming despair that I felt when I was anticipating that date a week ago or so.

Hi Kat63, I'm so happy to hear that the new medication switch is helping you

immensely. Reading in how you perceive things in life shows me your capabilities

in coping. There will always be stressors around us, however the medication can

help put us in a more rational way in dealing with it. You've got this xx
