Hello All my friends struggling w/ anxiety. About 2 months ago, I got a bad panic attack first one ever. I thought I was dying from a heart attack long story short went to the hospital and they told me it was a panic attack. Since then, my life has changed. 3 weeks after my anxiety symptoms got worse in which I couldn’t do anything or even sleep at night time. I lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks because I wasn’t able to eat. I had to take some stress leave from work and saw a brand new doctor. My old one wasn’t much help. This new doctor started me on Zoloft on June 3rd 50 mg. The first day I took it was my worst day ever made my whole anxiety come back. The following day I only took 25mg and kept with it till I saw him again. He then upped me to 50mg. Well all the symptoms returned but went away within 3 weeks. I felt like I was myself again. Till last Friday in the morning I got another panic attack out of no where. After it passed, the lingering affects of the panic remained something called “Panic Attack Hangover” some experience it for hours or even days depending on your body. I made the decision to up my dose to 75mg a couple days ago, since I’m going to see my doctor next week.I’ve been feeling more anxious and having anxiety pains. My chest has been tense since my episode on Friday. I can breathe fine but I just feel my chest compressed. I know Zoloft works because I was doing fine till I had that attack. I’m very active to lower my anxiety down so I can sleep at night. I just want to know or see what different experiences ppl have had with Zoloft or any other medication.
Hey. How you doing now? Did the 75mg dose help you?
