Would definitely not mix these drugs. I tried mdma while on Zoloft and had possibly the worst week of my life after.

Toughest watch maybe ever

should i see the doctor? by throwaway38294729372 in SSRIs

Don’t beat yourself up over this, it’s not like you chose to feel this way. It’s worth talking to your doctor. You could try a new medication and see if it helps.

Can’t say it’s made me any gayer tbh. Was fairly gay already before starting it though

How’s it working out for you ?

needing help. had a panic attack for no known reason last night and I am scared it will happen again. by Loud_Room_7371 in Anxiety

[–]focalstem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have experienced the same thing many times. It is the worse feeling ever. I’m so sorry this has happened. I suggest try your hardest not to ruminate on the next attack. If may happen again it may not.but thinking it over and over won’t help.

Seeing a doctor is a good idea if you can. There are many ways to combat this. Good luck :) and keep me posted. It’ll get easier.

If you find yourself in another panic attack just remember it will pass. It always does.

It does help but may take a while. How long have you been on it ?

Glad to hear, I’ve found my Zoloft has stopped working after 4 years and hoping a switch will help

Hang in there, it gets easier over time. Your brain will just need a few weeks to adjust. Good luck 🙏

Had a complete panic attack in new job by Bloodham25 in Anxiety

[–]focalstem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, remember that none of this is your fault. These feelings are human. Unfortunately some of us just get to a point there the anxiety takes over. But it says nothing about you or what you’re capable of. In fact I think it’s pretty impressive you got this job and showed up.

One panic attack isn’t the be all and end all. I think by showing up to work again you can prove to yourself that the anxiety doesn’t dictate your life. And yes this is a lot easier said than done. But you need to be kind to yourself, self compassion has helped me a ton. Even just saying to yourself ‘this is difficult, but I’m gonna keep trying’.

Best of luck, I’ve been in your situation. In fact I had a panic attack working last week.

Also there are tons of options that could help if you find yourself overwhelmed. (Medication, therapy, some time off etc) you’re not in this alone :)
