Post Zoloft update

So, yesterday, I was pretty spacey after my post and felt weird, and then had a great time when I went out to dinner with Anthony. I had one moment where I felt a quick down moodswing — I was thinking, “why do I feel this way...?” It passed very quickly.

I still feel the effects today but I think they are lessening. I still feel that kinda distant weird feeling, but I’m able to start processing things normally again. Zoloft was so weird.. I’d like go on Facebook and feel a million miles away.

Vivid dreams are still there and I still wake up feeling like my brain is stuck in REM mode. But it’s passing.

I might nap again!

Cheers!

Are you going to go on another anti depressant?

[Hidden in reply to dbeck128]

No way. I’m too scared to every try another one again. This experience freaked me out so much

I only went on for panic, I hope I got in check during the last month or so. It was bad.. I’ve been working on myself a lot and even if Zoloft did suppress the panic, I’m hoping that the CBT therapy and my hobbies that I’ve been doing have done more. It’s so hard. But yeah.. for me, it’s just not worth not feeling myself and freaked out/loopy/depressed 24/7. How are you doing??

I can definitely understand. I had the same experience with at least 8 anti depressants before getting on a mood stabilizer. def not as depressed, up still taking it slow with my dose and upping it.

I know it can be scary. Especially when you're first one is like that. It was for me. But I hope you dont give up if you ever feel like you need it. There are many ppl experiencing what you've gone through. My self included. I have to remind myself it can take years to find the right "cocktail". I know I will one day, but for now just experimenting and taking it day by day.

Omg I’m so sorry you’ve had bad experiences. I hope you are doing ok - I saw your posts and can’t even imagine.

I’m def gonna keep an open mind. Learning about the science behind anxiety does help me a lot. I’ve always been very anxious, but the panic happened after some crazy stress I wasn’t managing properly, then the hypochondria hit. I’m so close to overcoming that, and I’m hoping I keep making progress. This site has helped me SO much because I get to meet so many people like me and not like me but we all need to talk. So thank you so much!!
