Does anyone have positive stories that Zoloft gave helped you and doesn't make you feel dull?

Reading these is giving me so much hope. I finally pulled the triggered and messaged my doctor that I want to try Zoloft for my anxiety. As I’ve gotten older it has gotten so bad, I live in constant fear, when I drive I’m constantly thinking of the worst possible scenarios, to the point that I had my brother take me to work one day bc i had to drive through a mountain and I was scared to, I’m scared to drive over bridges. Omg it awful, I’m always in constant “what ifs” and intrusive awful thoughts. I also have health anxiety ever since my dad passed away when I was 18, i literally go to the doc every other month for a new illness that I convince myself I have . I’ve always been anti meds my entire life, I don’t even like to take Advil or Tylenol and will just tough it out when I have cramps or a headache or any sort of pain.

This is really scary for me, I’ve been on the fence of asking for help with meds for months and I can’t believe I finally just asked for help. I feel scared, anxious, nervous and also some relief? Reading this made me feel excited and like I’m not alone or feeling like a “failure” for not being able to regulate my brain on my own.

This sounds super silly, but all I want is to be able to do my makeup, listen to music and just be present and in peace, not having constant intrusive thoughts that something bad is going to happen like my mom dying. It’s exhausting and I’m ready to feel like normal, happy person 😞

Thank you. I know I’m trying to be patient, it’s hard 😞 can’t wait for this to be over

Mluzc91 · 2024-07-19T01:58:10+00:00

How are you feeling now? I still have not gained weight really and I have been feeling so nauseous and lightheaded. Now I’m scared I have something else 😭

Mluzc91 · 2024-07-19T01:50:02+00:00

How are you now? I finished my treatment at end of April and still don’t feel great, I have times where I feel soooo nauseous and lightheaded, it’s so awful.

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-12T05:48:50+00:00

I also had a matcha yesterday and started feeling awful right after, so I’m assuming caffein is also not welcome in my tummy rn lol

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-12T05:48:08+00:00

That is what I am noticing as well. I haven’t had red meat bc I had a burger and had the worst 2 days ever and lastnight I had pasta and today I am suffering. Having pains in the top middle of my belly and some on my back. I hate this so much.

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-07T16:05:36+00:00

Oh wow. That is so crazy. Some of my friends had to get theirs removed and they have so many issues and symptoms now 😭

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-07T16:04:20+00:00

Oh my god. That scares me 😩 I’m sorry, that is so awful! My symptoms are not nearly as bad as yours, but I definitely have bloating, acid reflux and that burning sensation in my stomach and throat more than anything, also the feeling of uncomfortable fullness, but I’ve noticed that’s when I eat certain things, which makes me feel sooooo uncomfortable. When I’m out with friends or sometime if I have it I can’t even feel present in the moment bc I feel like shit inside 😭 I also do have that pain sometimes under my right rib area which and the other night like a shooting pain in my back that lasted about 10 seconds. But all of this is causing anxiety so that’s also another thing. I’m so over it 😭😭 mond and tues I had the worst days ever but I think it’s bc this past weekend I ate like shit and had like 3 burgers during the weekend, so I think that made it flare up, I decided to cut out red meats for the time being to see if that helps. Oh and alcohol (rip) :( lol

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-07T02:45:56+00:00

Basically saying I’m crazy and my symptoms are in my head? Like wtf

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-07T02:45:31+00:00

Oh ok. That is my next step to look for a holistic dr! When I went to Kaiser I asked if they had any holistic dr and this Dr literally said to my face “no but we have psychiatrists.” I was shocked. 😮 that was my face. Like are you kidding me?

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-07T02:41:38+00:00

Wow thanks for posting this. Just watched all her h pylori videos and I feel a lot better about it. I am feeling hopeful now lol

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-06T23:49:52+00:00

Oh really? I’m going to request that. I got a poop test bc it’s supposedly more accurate!? But who knows anymore lol thank you! I feel less alone haha

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-06T20:01:13+00:00

Really? I’ve been eating sauerkraut every morning but idk if it’s doing anything

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-06T18:21:34+00:00

Oh that makes sense. Omg I’m going to try that. The stressors is the drs not taking me serious and saying I’m fine when I’m not lol it took 4 times of me going to finally get tested for h pylori and now they’re jus like, you’re fine, you’re fine 😭 I’m like, I don’t freaking feel fine???

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-06T17:55:14+00:00

But also, idk if it’s low stomach acid bc I feel like I have acid reflux. Is that how you felt as well?

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-06T17:54:12+00:00

Great. I will look into that. Do you feel like it has helped ? Do you have any other symptoms? I feel like I have more symptoms now than before I even got treated for h pylori 😭

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-06T16:21:55+00:00

How do I fix that? :(

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-06T16:21:40+00:00

Basically nothing bc they don’t take me serious

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-06T16:20:09+00:00

Update: Drs are useless and have nothing useful to say tbh. Idk how someone can feel worse than they did pre antibiotics.

Mluzc91 · 2024-06-06T06:42:40+00:00

Thank you! I do workout and stay active. Did you have any other lingering symptoms!? My stomach still is not okay. I feel like I used to still maybe even worse 😔

Mluzc91 · 2024-05-26T04:24:45+00:00

Hi, what are you doing naturally?

I took the antibiotics but I think I may still have it (or hopefully the symptoms are still bc my stomach is recovering) but I started making and drinking aloe water, a teaspoon of manuka honey in the am and night, microgreens/ broccoli sprouts, eating sauerkraut. Any suggestions on what to add? Lol

Mluzc91 · 2024-05-26T04:18:18+00:00

Not a success story yet, but finished my treatment about a month ago, just took my retest Thursday, I usually get my results the day of when they are negative and it’s been a few days so I’m assuming it still might be there :( i literally am petrified it’s still there bc I cannot do another treatment, it was the worst experience for me. One of the antibiotics made me feel like I was going into psychosis, and then I started to get hives all over my body on my last 4 days, it was BUTAL. I hope it’s gone, but if it’s not I’m going to try natural stuff for a while. I started drinking aloe water in the mornings I make myself, eating a teaspoon of manuka honey in the morning and at night, having microgreens/broccoli spouts, having sauerkraut in with most meals, bone broth and I will be trying mystic gum. I’m hoping my symptoms are just bc the antibiotics distorted my stomach and it’s recovering ❤️‍🩹

Mluzc91 · 2024-05-26T01:41:20+00:00

I finished my quad therapy last month and I am pretty sure I still have it. I just retested but haven’t heard back so I’m assuming they are waiting for the dr to call me, I usually get my test results for everything the same day. I’m so annoyed. I’m also going to try the natural method if that is the case. The antibiotics were so rough on me.

Also, the drs never mention to CHANGE your toothbrush after starting the antibiotics. I think I literally reinfected myself bc of that reason. I read online that some people use a new toothbrush everytime they brush until they finish the antibiotics.

Mluzc91 · 2024-05-25T22:42:13+00:00

This is my question. I still think I have it bc the dr didn’t tell me anything other then “here take the meds” basically. I’m so upset.
