Hi, I’m 16 years and I’ve been suffering a lot lately. About 2 weeks ago I was hit with this random panic attack I went into panicing and I couldn’t stop and I thought I was gonna die, the anxiety passed and the next night I had such a bad panic attack I called the abulance.. I went to the doctors and I was prescribed Zoloft 25mg.. keep in mind I’ve taken Zoloft before and didn’t have any problems... I then suffered a couple of days laying in bed having anxiety and feeling numb.. I hardly ate because I was in fear of having an allergic reaction even though I’m not allergic to anything. I got better for around 5 days and I’ve been hit with this wierd dizzyness and numbness.. when I look around it’s really fast.. and my vision is abnormal.. my body feels just so light and like it’s not there.. and this has been going on for 3 days.. I did some research and zoloft can cause dizziness and stuff but I don’t know what’s going on with me.. it won’t end.. I’m super depressed and I don’t leave my house much unless it’s for a bike ride.. I just need help I’m so numb and confused and dizzy. I’m also very weak.. someone explain to me.. maybe it’s a side effect of Zoloft while my body is getting used to it?
Well sorry to say but it sounds like the Zoloft. You got away without any side effects first time round. This is one opf the dangers of benzodiazepines. I urge u to research these drugs described as the drugs from ■■■■ . No one should have to get used to side effects. The drug should be discontinued according to my dr anyway .
Do you have heavy periods? I started having panic attacks at age 16 and was put on Birth Control for Anemia. Make SURE you have your Doctor run a full iron panel including Ferritin. Mine was 8 and it should be around 100. Also ask for D, B12, and folate to be checked. Get all your results and look them up online. If your Doctor says it couldn’t be low Ferritin they would be wrong. I’m feeling SO much better now that I’m on iron... not saying Zoloft couldn’t be part of the issue. Definitely discuss what you’re feeling with your Doctor!
Hi I’m a male.. sorry for the confusion.
