Mrs. Mom I have taken Zoloft for post partum depression before and it helped me tremendously. As AbbeyD says it takes the edge off. It is very mild, one day you will just feel better.
I am happy you went to the doctor and hope 2011 is a great year for you.
or whatever the hell it is I have been getting.....I'm so **** tired of it. Had one at dinner tonight at a nice restaurant with several family and friends there. I had to go sit in the car because I had to get away and quick. I feel like I'm going to die or something. I was close to having DH take me to the ER. It's the 3rd bad one I've had this year (I've been having mini ones for years, but not like this). They come on so fast and take 1-2 hours before it starts to subside.
I'm so embarrassed about tonight because MIL's friends were treating us to dinner and I had to leave right when my dinner was served. I sat in the car until DH and the kids finished.
I came home and poured a drink (hey I don't have any sedatives because I've never seen a dr. for this yet).
Anyway is there any other nut jobs out there who can tell me I'm not alone? :bee: Thanks for listening. :redface:
Was it hard to get off of it and how long did it take to kick in? I haven't taken one yet......trying to decide what time is best. The pharmacist suggested mebbe in the afternoon, but should be the same time everyday.
Glad to hear you got to your appointment and DR. was able to help...you are so worth it!
I have a dentist appointment in a few weeks...ugh!
It's mild, so it wasn't hard to get off of. Took a week, ten days to kick in?Was it hard to get off of it and how long did it take to kick in? I haven't taken one yet......trying to decide what time is best. The pharmacist suggested mebbe in the afternoon, but should be the same time everyday.
Update: So it took me a year or so to get up the balls to make an appointment. I want to tell you peeps that this place had everything to do with it esp. for my girl cookiemom.
I saw the doc. today (same guy that delivered both of my kids). I printed out a list of my concerns so I wouldn't forget any (dorky?) So when he asked what's up, I handed him the list and we talked from there. I shed a few tears (out of anxiety), he did some tests, etc.
I left with a script for an antibiotic for a killer sinus infection I've had and for the generic Zoloft. I filled these scripts but haven't taken them yet. Wanna talk more about Zoloft with you peeps.
I also have other results like (I asked him to check my thyroid) and he said it does feel enlarged.
I have a full blood test thing next week (I have to starve) and some other tests coming up...........I don't wanna talk about yet.
Anyway this week I've been out of my mind with anxiety about this appointment. Thank you all for your words of advice on the matter.
I'm really hoping that this year is the year that I get/ feel healthy.
You're not alone. I started suffering from anxiety attacks when me and the hubby started having our troubles. Dr. increased my Zoloft and gave me a few Xanax. The medicine seems to be working really good!!! Good luck to you.
i've had small anxiety attacks all my life but they got worse and more frequent when my parents separated in 08.
eh oops. i thought that was public knowledge. Sorry!SPILL GEORGIE!!! Lemme guess..............you weren't licking it enough before, but now you've learned? :bee:
eh oops. i thought that was public knowledge. Sorry!
Oooooo OOOO OOOO! thought of another....
Pot helps.
Just sayinnnn :lol:
ETA: Oh and to those of you who have taken Xanax, what does it feel like?
it doesn't feel like anything. I just dont freak out after i take it.
A place to debate everything and anything!
