Jimmyluke55 in reply to Popcorn28

How long was you on it for please x

Popcorn28 in reply to Jimmyluke55

Not long i tried to stick it out for 4-6weeks but no wasnt settling

Jimmyluke55 in reply to Popcorn28

Ok

They put me on ZOLOFT supposedly for Life. Immediately started monstrously craving carbohydrates like potatoes .... rice. Gained almost 25 lbs in the first month. Didn't feel all that well either.

Was headed for Diabetes and more problems.

Asked the doctor what's up with that .... thought this drug was supposed to help me. Why am I gaining weight and craving carbs? He just sat there mute with no answers.

That was IT for me. I threw them in the trash. Resolved my severe case of GAD with calming teas, supplements, food and drink ...... reading about anxiety ..... and other natural modalities.

It worked! Been in remission for years. Good Luck to you . . . . .

Aw okay hopefully it does ease for you real soon , don’t know if you like chamomile tea I don’t know if it works or it’s just me telling my brain it calms me down ,, but you take it easy and rest as much as you need to and if you can go for a nice walk to clear your head a bit even in your garden just a bit of fresh air ,,wishing you the best , take good care it will be all over soon 🤞 ,, keep us updated always good to get it off ya chest 🙂 x
