Hi I started Zoloft 5 days ago last night i had a really bad attack blood pressure shot up to 169/100 I was freaking out. I have been on only XANAX since April and no attacks that bad in a few months. When does ZOLOFT START TAKING THE ANXIETY AWAY? Is it suppose to increase it then it gets better?
I was having intense tingling and chill burning sensations coming and going in waves I also felt real anxious and irratiable
I only lasted 10 weeks on this as it done exact thing to me made my anxiety worse which I didn’t think was even possible as I was already bad..lost a stone because of them.. put me off ever taking a single thing ever again.. so yes it’s very much them making you worse.. the say 6 weeks but I was 10 weeks and still no better.. the withdrawals just coming off them after only been on them 10 weeks where awful as well. Doctor told me wasn’t on them long enough to get withdrawals well I disagree… hope you feel better.. am going through anxiety again myself and having to let it run it’s course as I will never take another pill for it…
DANG i read it gets worse before it gets better I am going to tuff it out at least 4 weeks but if the attacks get worse or more frequently I WILL STOP. What do you do without any medications when attacks hit. I HAVE GAD so i have anxiety all day my blood pressure shoots high and i have tingling and chill skin
I honestly can’t remember how i felt on Sertraline but amitriptyline gave me the same kinda tingling, adrenaline feeling in my skin. i switched to Citalopram (celexa) which I’ve found kinda to my body.
I took Zoloft it put me in the hospital. I can’t take Zoloft
OMG What dis it do to you? How many days were you on it before you had to go the hospital? What were your side effects
I was in the hospital for 10 days I had a bad reaction to it
When did you have the reaction? The first day you took it? WHAT did it do to you?
It caused me to think people were after me. It took 3 days before my mom realized that I was having bad medication reaction
oh wow and did that start after the first day you took a pill
Yes I went crazy almost hurt my self
everyone ia different but to me it took almost 3 weeks to see some changes yet it made my anxiety so much better to cope with and just go back to my ols me
I listen to white noise on youtube or keep buzy. Most days am frustrated and just cry and pace. If a didn’t have my faith a don’t know really. It’s hard as the physical symptoms are so awful a never new until I got anxiety how unwell it can make you feel. I’ve had every test you can think of because I just couldn’t believe that this was just anxiety. So I know what your going through. Just got to take one day at a time really and let your body heal. I just personally couldn’t take another pill after that horrible experience. They gave me Insomnia as well,Racing heart, shaking ,a feeling like am buzzing from the inside. This weird burning sensation in my chest that made me feel fear like it never felt ever. And also kept me on the toilet. I know they help some people and everyone has different experiences. Now when I get anxiety am getting different symptoms my heart doesn’t race my stomach stays churning 24/7 and I just feel in constant state of nervousness for no reason. Makes me feel so exhausted and unwell. Getting the burning chest as well 
just wish we could all be free from it.
Hi were the first 2 weeks awful im having like chill wet skin feelings that come in waves and patches through out my body my anxiety is more intense like a panic that cones and go but the chill is staying
yea the first week suck it usually gets better at the 4 to 6th week i know it sucks but you be glad you made it that far. prayers
