I'm still feeling pretty rotten after being on sertraline since before Christmas. I'm up to 150mg. The constant panic attacks and palpitations have stopped and my anxiety has almost gone. I can drive, go in shops ( quickly) and can actually go to the doctors rather than him come to me. I am however still off work and I'm still not managing to walk anywhere really without feeling as if I need a wall next to me to tap ( so I know I am real if you know what I mean)
Anyway I went to the doctors and had 7 blood tests for various things and one came back as my vitamin D levels low. After googling , as you do, I discovered that a lot of the stuff going on with my body could well be due to this deficiency. I have been put on a high dose vit D course for 2 weeks. I hope it helps. Anyone else been deficient in vit D? Stories please.
May the force be with us all

Actually I am on vitamin D2, I didn't know why at first, plus 50 mg Zoloft, and my epilepsy meds, wich is the main reason I'm on Zoloft, because I take, Keppra, Dilantin and Phenobarbital, the Keppra is the only reason I'm on Zoloft for my anger issues, it's helping, but kinda on and off, but at least I know when I'm about to start getting frustrated, and now that I remember, I usually calm down now before I do something stupid that I will regret. Hope you do well, and God bless.
Hello
I haven’t been on this forum for a while. I remember you posting that you have tinnitus and this is the symptom that led to me being so mentally unwell.
I’ve heard mixed reports about the effect of vitamin D on T and would be interested to know if yours improves. Maybe it’s already gone though? Any way it’s good that you are doing so well.

I hope you are well Eve. I have always had tinnitus..I thought it was normal and that everyone had it when I was younger. It has never really bothered me as it's just sort of part of me. It has however got a bit louder with the sert. I have only just started the vit D course but I will monitor my tinitus and let you know. It may be worth you having a blood test to check your vit D

Thank you for your reply Hoopz. I’m much better than I was although still
with worsened T and anxiety. I had my bloods taken 10 days ago as I couldn’t understand why I was so exhausted and still very anxious. All came back as fine!
I was in a RTC one month ago and Dr suggests that this won’t have helped symptoms. I’ll take the supplements I have bought anyway.
Good luck with your Hospital proceedure.
Best wishes
Eve
