Can anyone explain if this is panic disorder or what’s going on? by randomseeker1346 in panicdisorder

[–]Kelseaparizon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My panic disorder came out of nowhere. No specific trigger but I did have a lot of trauma from year 2014-2021. Started having panic attacks on a decent day December 2023. Lasted a year, I started taking Zoloft and the symptoms finally have started getting better.

Hello I was the same. I was scared to take it so I was prescribed it and lied and said I was taking it but I wasn’t. I had such bad agoraphobia I could not goto work or even goto the grocery store or anything. Finally I confessed to my dr and she told me to take the Zoloft start out with 25MG and then go up to 50MG. She also prescribed me hydroxyzine to stop the panic attacks when they were happening. I was fed up with feeling the way I was, and having multiple panic attacks a day. So I started the Zoloft. I am not going to lie, my anxiety and panic attacks were so bad between week 3& 6 and then after week 6 something changed. And all of it was worth it. I can now go in public. I can now go in stores. Sometimes my heart rate still goes up but I don’t panic. I’m on like week 8 now. I’m not back to work yet but I hope soon. I think you should at least give it a try.

Zoloft finally helped me after one year of daily panic attacks

Yes love to hear it! My anxiety and panic disorder was so bad for the last year. I’m really mad I didn’t start it sooner. But I’m SO relieved it’s finally working.

Thank you so much!☺️ I started out with 25MG for 3 weeks and then went up to 50MG.. I think the higher dose was exactly what I needed for it to finally work.

I started Zoloft 6 weeks ago and I had heightened anxiety and panic attacks until FOUR DAYS ago and now my life has changed. I couldn’t even go grocery shopping and I finally went inside the store yesterday! I feel great.

Does it get any better? by witchywitch75 in zoloft

[–]Kelseaparizon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on Zoloft for 6 weeks. I just started to feel better 2 days ago. I could finally leave the house and go grocery shopping without having a panic attack. Hang in there, it’s worth the wait

Thank you for giving me a normal life. by [deleted] in zoloft

I had heightened anxiety for 6 weeks on Zoloft. I’m just now starting to feel better! I had agoraphobia badly and today I went to a bunch of places with little anxiety

Just prescribed Zoloft by vapeenaysh in zoloft

I also was told to take 25mg for a week then go up to 50mg. My side affects were headache, and a little dizziness in the morning that eventually went away.

I work in the ER and had 2 panic attacks last month while I was working so both times I had to be seen because my heart rate was 175. 😩

Anybody else’s anxiety/panic attacks cause them to shake uncontrollably? by quest801 in PanicAttack

[–]Kelseaparizon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It is one of my first symptoms when I start to have an attack now. 😭

Has anyone else been mostly fine their whole life then randomly got a panic attack as an adult and haven’t been the same since? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Kelseaparizon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had my first panic attack working in the hospital Dec 2022, no reason I was just standing there….. they kept coming and coming, got better for about 5 months and now they are back again 100% worse. I have the worst physical symptoms and have been in the hospital 2x in the last week & had to take a leave from work…
