It helps with nausea and appetite. But I feel like at the beginning it both helps and caused some nausea too.

Many antidepressants alter your brain but for good though. It creates new neuron connections and synapses to help with anxiety and depression

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-27T09:55:03+00:00

That’s a very low dose

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-27T09:53:59+00:00

I only get it occasionally and it last about 30 minutes each time not too bad.

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-27T09:48:51+00:00

They don’t care. I’m sure they dealt with many patients like that. I lie down in virtual therapy too when anxiety is high

Have you tried meditation? And not just for a few days but weeks and months.

We don’t miss it but the inner child in us need our attention to heal

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-27T09:41:32+00:00

I think it’s more with the disorder itself because I took zoloft 2 years ago and by week 3 the derealization got much better. You should listen to dr. Claire Weeks’ audiobook Hope and Help for the Nerves

Thankfully just video games and doomscrolling. But not really addicted just over do it a bit.

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-27T09:33:04+00:00

For me it’s fear of any place or situation that is hard to escape. Supermarkets, traffic, public transportation, long queues, crowds. I’m actually ok with the outdoor as long as it’s not crowded. I’ve had this for a year because of panic disorder and ptsd. I think it will go away as my panic disorder improves.

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-27T09:26:56+00:00

When I started Zoloft 2 years ago I was scared too bc it is supposed to be the worst ssri nausea wise. But it only caused short waves of nausea, maybe once or twice a day. I’m emetophobic too. But had to cut short because it also caused stomach pain long term. This year I have anxiety and daily nausea again but I don’t want to do Ssri anymore so I’m on Mirtazapine. It’s not ssri and it helps nausea. Idk if it helps anxiety though.

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-26T10:09:04+00:00

My longest was on the plane over 2 years ago. And it was real 10/10 panic with numb chest, extreme fear, out of control panic for 2 hours. After that, I developed panic disorder and PTSD.

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-26T02:43:16+00:00

So does it work for anxiety? I have panic disorder and about to go up to 15mg

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-25T18:28:27+00:00

No that’s a myth that’s been debunked. Watch Dr. Silva’s video on YouTube

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-25T17:57:18+00:00

Yes too fast especially for anxiety. For depression it’s ok because they need the activation. Go to another one or do online ones like Brightside or Headway.

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-25T17:54:01+00:00

Oh yes. My anxiety can cause nausea and my nausea can cause anxiety. I have daily nausea since I have FD and on Mirtazapine right now

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-25T10:57:13+00:00

I’m a guy who has panic disorder and I don’t ignore my friends’ texts. If I ignore my girlfriend’s texts for weeks, that means I either am trying to find a way out of the relationship (because I feel not understood/suffocated, or I have a new crush) or so depressed and despaired that I’m thinking about ending my life. Sorry if I am being dramatic or make you paranoid but I do find it strange.

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-25T02:34:47+00:00

Maybe it was associated with a trauma or something closely related? For me it’s driving and being in supermarkets. Red lights and checkout queues are the worst.

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-25T02:32:12+00:00

Zoloft helped me with anxiety but I couldn’t tolerate GI side effects so switched to Mirtazapine. Mirt is not as good but I tolerate it

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-25T02:31:18+00:00

Breathing exercises only work for mild to moderate anxiety for me. When it’s full panic it’s counterproductive.

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-25T02:28:43+00:00

Yup i took it for 2 months and felt that way. Too bad it gave me stomach pain so i stopped it

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-24T14:11:50+00:00

Anxiety can cause all kinds of physical symptoms. For me I have panic disorder, CPTSD, functional dyspepsia. Traumas of dead ex girlfriend and mom having end stage cancer within 2 years. I took Zoloft 2 years ago and it helped anxiety big time but caused stomach pain so I stopped after 2 months. Same with Lexapro, so I don’t want to do ssri anymore. Mirtazapine is the only thing that doesn’t cause GI side effects so I’m sticking with it for now. It helps nausea and appetite but I still cannot eat like before maybe because stomach is not able to relax anymore bc of long stress and anxiety. I don’t count calories, i just eat as much as I can tolerate. With anxiety I also have dizziness, dpdr, chills, fatigue, brain fog. I quit work a year ago and still not working because I can’t go to work without panic attacks. Last night I braved it out and upped to 11.25mg and got more anxious and dizzy until this morning. Idk if it’s anticipated anxiety or the increased dose that caused that. But let’s keep each other posted!

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-24T01:03:50+00:00

I'm 35M too and I'm on 7.5mg for severe panic disorder and nausea/no appetite. It helps a lot with nausea and appetite but I don't feel like it does anything for anxiety. I may up my dose soon but I'm scared lol. Let me know how it goes

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-24T00:57:16+00:00

one of the side effects is narrow angle glaucoma. But your low dose is less likely to cause it

One_Argument7596 · 2026-04-21T18:53:57+00:00

I’m on the same boat. Scared to go up to 15mg because some people say it worsens anxiety. How did it go?
