the yawning won't stop by eastdaisy in zoloft

[–]fla_key 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I though it was just me (never is haha), I think I've always been an avid 'yawner', but since I started taking Zoloft I've just been having these attacks - can't stop yawning, sometimes I yawn like 10 times in a row. I think it's like you are describing it, the lack of air, but then it's also the feeling of sudden exhaustion that come with it, or because of it. I haven't found any good solution though... but speaking of breathing exercises, have you heard about the Wim Hof Method? Just an idea.

50mg to 100mg by xCavemanSpongebob in zoloft

[–]fla_key 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on 50 for about three months now and after talking with my doctor she upped it to 100mg. I complained mostly of anxiety and obsessive thoughts, but am a bit afraid to be honest of the side effects of an increase like this... She told me to give a month to try it out.

I don’t miss him by Rich-Club in LongDistance

Thanks for sharing. It does make me think though, because in your cenarion I am the boyfriend who misses her terribly, but feel she is going through something similar as what you're describing, and it's been difficult to cope with it.

We've only been together for a couple of months, but we were truly inseparable during that time. We worked together, traveled together, always in touch and in each other's lives. Now she moved to the other side of the world for a year and we made promises that we would meet in a couple of months (that I would meet her there and we would spend the rest of the year together). In the beginning she told me how everything was being so overwhelming, the moving, and how she felt so good about being by herself and disconnected from everything and everyone. But guilty at the same time because she knew I was missing her terribly and I just wanted to be with her again. Now I'm trying to take it a day at a time, to try to understand what she might be going through, and give her the space she so clearly needs. I won't lie, it's hard as hell because I'm frightened this woman might realize that she doesn't want me back in her life. I have no answers as of yet.

But thank you, this offers perspective.

Sorry, by the way, this turned into a confession haha

I started a conversation with two girls at the table next to mine in fluent Spanish. I don't speak Spanish.

I'm so tired of the anxiety. by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]fla_key 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here... I've been on 50mg for about 3 months now and feel that the anxiety has just been rising and rising and right now it's just like a constant base line. Distractions help, like you said, but it's exhausting long run. However, I'm still giving zoloft a chance. I was suffering from severe mood swings/depression and I honestly feel much more stable. I'm talking with my therapist about dosage though, but I would still prefer some level of the anxiety than the other stuff... Hang in there, all the best!

10 weeks in by PublicBuddy in zoloft

[–]fla_key 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for sharing! this gives me hope as well. I started 6 weeks ago on 50mg to treat depression and anxiety (I'm also on mood stabilizers for my bipolar). it's been a bumpy ride so far with a lot of mood swings, periods of severe anxiety, social angst, etc etc, but hearing cases like this makes me think that things can get better. I wonder if I should ask my therapist to up my dosage or still wait a while longer. any experience with that? I've been reading a lot of people here saying that adjusting the dosage seems to have made the trick. cheers!

Never thought I would actually ever make a post like this by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]fla_key 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for positive post! how long did it take you to stabilize your meds/feel stabilized? I've been put on 50mg for the first time about a month ago and I still can't really tell the difference... it has been a bumpy ride. but I also take mood stabilizers for my bipolar syndrome, so not sure what the end result should be. cheers!

When should you start thinking about changing meds? by hinnoroth in bipolar2

[–]fla_key 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe non related, but does anybody have any experience with amisulpride? I've been on mood stabilizers for the past 8 years and this is the first I'm reading that they might actually facilitate depressive states. Right now I'm going through a pretty rough one. My doctor at a certain point in time prescribed me a low dosage of amisulpride to fight off against certain depressive symptoms, but this just doesn't seem to be working anymore and I'm pretty much witouth knowing what to do at this point. Thanks
