I've been having suicidal thoughts lately since started Zoloft five days ago, and I've been really bad the past few days. Today I prayed and told my deceased grandparents I need a sign that they love me and they are ok with me being gay and all of a sudden I have this overwhelming sense of peace and I'm relaxed . But yet freaking out because I'm terrified I'm loosing it ! I feel like running to the ER .

Jmerrick22, Are you by chance under 25y.o.?

Sometime Zoloft can do this to younger patients.. It might be a good idea to call your prescribing doctor. Let him know and see what he says.

I'm 24

[Agora1 in reply to Jmerrick22]

Jmerrick, why don't you give your doctor a call. Let him know what's going on.

You'll be okay...Let us know what the doctor tells you to do.

You're close enough to the age Agora1 mentioned, and I think you should call your doctor too, ok?

Im 22 and also on zoloft, it made my aniexty alot worse at first... i think this is somewhat normal, but if you feel like going to the ER go, no shame in it

[Jmerrick22]

Yeah they're closed for the day . I work at a hospital and consulted a few nurses and a doc they say it's normal it may just be settling in my system

[Agora1 in reply to Jmerrick22]

I'm glad you checked Jmerrick22... feel better

[pata99]

It takes several weeks to kick in....during that time you could actually feel a lot worse..hang in there!

One of the symptoms of taking anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds is usually feeling suicidal and it usually happens around this time of 5 days apparently! Maybe you could give it a few more days to see if the feelings dissapear or try speaking to the Samaritans to get some support! You can call them anytime, they are available 24/7 if you don't feel better then consider speaking with your Doctor about your symptoms! But awww feel better soon! Just keep telling yourself that things will get better soon and set yourself some small goals and some bigger goals and try and achieve them to get a buzz out of reach in your targets xx
