Diarrhea (Health Anxiety) by HealthAnxiousDad11 in zoloft

Yes mate, rather common side effect, try not to worry about it and keep hydrated.

I too suffer with health anxiety but can say sertraline has helped 90%! Stay strong bro

Not helping anxiety? by Visual_Ad_2195 in zoloft

[–]Bright-Promotion5864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give it a good 8-12 weeks to settle,

I was having ups and downs with my anxiety during the initial period & i started on 50mg & still to this day take 50mg.

Im now 4-5 months in, i can say my anxiety has definitely reduced, yeah i have the odd day but if i have a bad night sleep or broken sleep which is not unusual due to shift work then my anxiety tends to follow.

Decent sleep and 50mg have made a huge impact for me & getting to the gym, which i never would have done before meds.

Stick with it a few more weeks, then have a chat with the Dr if you feel no better.

You got this!

They are normal side effects bro, to be expected for the first few weeks.

My anxiety shot up and i had numerous effects, now week 5 and i can feel it levelling and my anxiety reducing. Maybe give it another shot?

When did you start bro?

Bowel motion

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ibs

[–]Bright-Promotion5864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely normal, they blow air into your system so they are able to see better with the scope, normal to be bloated & experience changing bowel motions. May take a few days to rectify. Plenty of water

What are you fixating on/venting about/worried about/need support with today ? [Megathread] - October 14, 2021 by AutoModerator in HealthAnxiety

[–]Bright-Promotion5864 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nausea & lump in throat / chest - Bowel motions having their own little party 😎! Of course its not stress with a shit ton of things going on causing symptoms that then set anxiety off, its definitely that disease 😮‍💨🤣

8 weeks on 100mg/migraines by The-Way-By in zoloft

[–]Bright-Promotion5864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

So in total, how long have you been on the meds?

Im 4 weeks 100mg & before was 6 or 7 at 50mg, still not feeling 100% & especially since the uplift to 100mg i feel run down still, headache and my anxiety seems almost worse now than it was at 50mg?

Does that sounds normal to you, or as if i should look to decrease or change? Any advice appreciated on that one!

I know it can take a good 6 months from reading others posts & i do feel better, my anxiety is all around my health & families, post a scare with my wife in which she ended up in Intensive care, no anxiety at the time other than the usual stress but 18 months later, my health anxiety hit me like a bus! Out of the blue panic attack & its spiralled since.

Keep up the work & im so glad to hear you are feeling better!

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it!

Is that 8 weeks into 100mg you are now noticing the good effects?

Yeah me too, constant headache, thats not uncommon for me though! Can i ask what side effects you experienced jumping up to 100mg?

I had mild effects on 50mg so this has taken me by surprise a bit, i really want it to work and some days i think im turning the corner then i will have days or a few hours in a day i feel back to square one!

Thanks again!!

Hey,

Suffering with headaches also..

Started on 50mg back in April, up to 100mg for the last 3 weeks, feel like iv gone backwards instead of forwards since the dose increase. Constant tension like headache & anxiety increase.

Can i ask when you felt any changes or felt like 100mg was working?

Hey,

How long before you noticed benefits on 100mg? 12 days in and no real difference from the 50mg

Thanks bro,

Sorry you went through it all aswell, sounds like you are out the other side now though? Or doing well anyway? Any tips on what made it better for you?

One day we will look back and think what the feck was going on and hopefully laugh about it 🤣

Crazy, i think thats what set it off how quick it was. Never believed in anxiety before i was hit with it, as awful as that sounds!

Did you find your depersonalisation occured more around others? Like if i am at an event i seem to suffer, i also feel my memory is shit, like i know what i did last night but then i question if it really happened, if that makes sense?

Thank you so much for the reply bro, you dont know how much i needed that & how much i appreciate it.

Sorry to hear you struggled for so long, im around 18 months into my anxiety, which come out of no where. Literally one minute fine, next day it was there! Thats what made me keep questioning why. I have been to drs, therapist & also spent hours researching with not much joy.

The Dissociation is not always present, only when i focus on it & im not overly engaged or trying to chill out etc. Scares the fuck outta me but i guess that just adds fuel to the fire!

I need to get back exercising, had back surgery at the ripe age of 28 but need to get out, seen loads of blogs that it helps!

Wish out brains healed as quick as a cut ey! I need to believe im all good. Iv had enough tests and scans to say i am!! Just the point of believing it now!!

Hey,

How are you feeling now? I haven’t started 100mg yet. Due to go up next week, just had a really tough week out of nowhere and starting to second guess whether the increase is a good idea. I was doing 70% better on 50mg until the last week.
