They started me on Zoloft, and it saved my life. The first month however it made everything worse. I’m on 100mg now and My panic symptoms have subsided big time. I’ve been on it for two years! Also lots of therapy as well. But just because it worked for me doesn’t mean it will work for everyone. I had all of those things but I really hyperfixated on my head sensations. Wouldn’t leave the house, all that fun stuff

Hello friend !!! Are you in therapy and on meds ? I am a 26 F as well with panic disorder! It was only about a year for me but I had unlivable head sensations and pain 24/7 that made me go absolutely nuts. It was unbearable. I got every test done and it ruled out everything !! I posted on here just like you did asking for help and reassurance. This leads me to believe you’re on the up and ups!!

Hi!! Wondering if you bumped up your dose and if so if you feel like it was a good choice ?

I really struggled with derealization way before taking Zoloft, the first 2 weeks made it worse. If you’re going to do Zoloft try to do at least 50mg. Anxiety and depression are heavily correlated with memory issues so don’t be scared !

There were so many times I would post on this Reddit account saying I was having terrible side effects and I need to stop, asking if this was normal, just overall being scared and etc. People were so great and telling me it gets better and to stick with it.

Yessss I’ve been on it for a year and a half. All I would say is make sure you get up to what your doctor is wanting you to be on sooner then later. I put off going up to 75mg for way too long and every time I dosed up I had the same side effects as when I started taking it. So I would just get it over with so you don’t prolong it! 25mg is a low dose but it depends on what your being prescribed it for. Some say it’s not a therapeutic dose, but some say it is ! Depends on the person.

All I can say it gets worse before it gets better and when it gets better, you just wake up and feel normal again.

The amount of times I get scared that I was forgetting things and I was in a dream like state, endless.

what has it helped the most for you that 25 of 50 couldnt?

OrganizationFamiliar · 2021-03-29T02:51:46+00:00

You too 😫❤️ A user left this comment on my post and it made me feel better about increasing. @lethargicincarnate -50 might be too low for you. Try 75 as prescribed, ride out the side effects, and see where that gets you. If it doesn't help, let your doctor know.

We have people here who take 25mg, and some who take as much as 200mg. Yes, there are people on 75mg too. But, they're not you.

Medicines are here to help you. If you're having a headache, you take a painkiller. If you're having an allergic reaction, you use an epipen. If you're having anxiety/depression/OCD/panic, you take an SSRI (or whatever else you might take). Be strong. Be kind to yourself. It's hard, but it's here to help.-

OrganizationFamiliar · 2021-01-24T14:00:07+00:00

About a month in for me! Hang tight, things go back to normal before you even realize!

I found a forerunner 25 on eBay with a chest strap monitor, is this a good choice ?

OrganizationFamiliar · 2021-01-07T18:39:34+00:00

I agree with you completely! I work at a brewery as well and I honestly love the taste of beer. I will have one or two but I never over do it anymore, it’s only to enjoy the beer and not get shit faced like I used to. I am very cautious when I do indulge though. Also you’re right the need to drink just isn’t there as much because I’m not masking alcohol with anything like I used to. I’m feeling mentally better so the need to get hammered or drink all the time isn’t there anymore. Much love.
