I started taking sertaline and xanax 3 days ago. I am not new to xanax, I had to take it for a while when I was first diagnosed with an anxiety disorder about 10 years ago. I was taking 0.5mg, and It worked wonders on me at the time. This time, it does nothing but make me sleepy, but I'm still panicking and constantly on edge. I don't know if the sertaline is exacerbating my anxiety and making the xanax not work. I'm kind of freaking out. I'm so tired of being on edge and spending all day trying to avoid the next anxiety attack. Should I try a higher dose? Anyone has had that problem before?
¿Has probado el propranolol? Creo que es el mejor para los síntomas de pánico
Deja el xanax muy lentamente. Dile a tu médico cuando lo estés dejando. Muy, muy lentamente. Después de que lo hayas dejado por unos meses, volverá a funcionar. Has desarrollado tolerancia.
I have never heard of that medication. I don't see my doctor for another 10 days. I'll ask then. Thank you.
I have not taken xanax for about 7 years, so there's no weaning off needed.
Hi, it will be the sertraline as it can make you worse before making you better, I had the same thing but didn't have Xanax I took propranolol which is a beta blocker and really helps, hope you get better
Sertaline no es lo mejor para la ansiedad, me temo que me cambiaron a otro cuando los médicos se dieron cuenta de lo que estaba tomando. ¡Es una maldita enfermedad horrible y desagradable! ¿Tienes fases de ansiedad? ¡Lo siento por no ser de ayuda! X
¡V correcto! El propranolol es un regalo de Dios!! Realmente lo es.
I do have phases of severe anxiety. I found over the years that the more I control external stressors, the less anxiety I have. Unfortunatelly, that's not always possible. I would say I generally have mild to moderate, with now 2 major periods of my life with severe anxiety, this right now being one of them. Is your also cyclical?
Years ago, my first (and only) dose of sertraline (Zoloft) gave me my very first MAJOR panic attack!! It's been known to do this to a percentage of people to whom it's prescribed (see Wikipedia). I had to go to ER and they had to pump me full of ativan (lorazepam) to stop the panic, hyperventilation, horrible agitation, etc. Sertraline has been put on my "do not administer" record.
Le recomendaría MUCHO hablar con su médico sobre dejar la sertralina y usar solo Xanax, especialmente si le funcionó muy bien en el pasado.
Las medicinas juntas pueden causar definitivamente problemas de ansiedad.
Use lo que funcionó en el pasado.
¡Espero que esto ayude!
