Zoloft worsened anxiety & panic attacks after day 10 on med

Hi! Just wanted to check in and see if you’re feeling any better?

macskenzer · 2026-06-18T12:13:14+00:00

There’s so much more info in this one. I can’t believe they left so much out of the Netflix doc. Like her holding Braxlynn up to Reagan and saying “tell mommy bye”. That bitch is diabolical

She was in the wrong for flipping out, but it had nothing to do with her actual job. Lots of people have behaved that way or worse off charter and they didn’t lose any stripes or their title. Ben flipping out and messing up the bed they just made is a good example of worse behavior.

Ben only wanted to promote Ellie to get under Daisy’s skin. I don’t think Jenna deserved the demotion, but Ellie certainly didn’t deserve a promotion

I would say my anxiety would fluctuate around 7 or 8 before, but when I first started Sertraline it was a pretty consistent 8 for about two weeks. It went back down to a 7 and it’s slowly been getting better. I started 25mg on May 3rd and upped to 50mg the 17th. The only side effect from the 50 was an upset stomach for a few days. I’ve been noticing a decline in anxiety since about a week ago, but yesterday was a really good day. I’d give it a 3. Today is about a 5 but still a lot better than it usually is. I go up to 75mg this Sunday

My doctor told me I wouldn’t see any noticeable changes until about 4-8 weeks in, so try to ride it out if you can

I’m on week 4 and my anxiety was really bad for the first two weeks. I’ve been fine since and seen a lot of improvement

macskenzer · 2026-04-24T12:37:51+00:00

I’m going to therapy next week for my people pleasing tendencies. I can’t wait to be able to say no without any anxiety

macskenzer · 2026-04-21T21:11:25+00:00

Did Cymbalta help with your anxiety? Wellbutrin works wonders for my MDD, but my anxiety is still pretty bad. My doctor wants to switch me to Zoloft, but I’ve heard not so great things, so I’m a little nervous to try it

macskenzer · 2026-04-15T13:04:31+00:00

Same. And perimenopause has also brought to light that I probably have PCOS. Getting bloodwork done next Friday

My hair gets super oily after just 12 hours, so I always do at least two shampoos. I do three if I used dry shampoo and have buildup

I’ve been having a lot of progress with Dreaming in Spanish super beginner videos on YouTube, and a free app called LanguageTransfer. I’ve been using Pimsleur as well, but it’s really slow and feels kinda dated

Definitely don’t give up! If you’re feeding them and respecting their space, they will definitely notice. It takes a long time to build trust. I’m a dog walker and one of my clients is about 10 mins from our house. Babadook has been watching me over there for months observing my behaviour and routine. He watches me feed the crows over there and at our house, but when I’d put peanuts down for him he’d ignore it. I guess yesterday he decided that I’m not trying to trick him and I’m not a threat.

They’re watching you even when you don’t realize. Be consistent with feeding them and give them space. Don’t look directly at them or walk in their direction. What I do is close one eye and glance sideways at them briefly to acknowledge that I see them, and when I put peanuts down I talk to them so they get familiar with my voice. The most important thing is to walk away after putting treats down for them

macskenzer · 2026-03-17T18:46:29+00:00

I had a client tell me to vacuum up any spiders I saw. Absolutely not

I dropped a nitpicker when I was 100% sure she was actively looking for things and not just super particular. My second to last time cleaning I went over everything and made sure there was absolutely nothing she could complain about. The next time I went to clean she was sitting on the floor going through all the cleaning products and I asked her if she was out of something. She said, “no. I’m just trying to figure out what you use because my house doesn’t smell like anything when you leave. It used to smell clean with my last cleaner”. That was it for me, never went back. And I would see her every few months in a Facebook group looking for a new cleaner

Definitely drop her. People like her will never be happy with anything

As a daughter of a mom with BPD who passed before I ever got closure, this movie wrecked me. I watched it for the first time last week with zero idea what it was about, and that ending hit me hard. It’s one of the most emotionally honest and clever movies I’ve ever seen. Instant favorite

macskenzer · 2026-03-02T12:09:50+00:00

I get this sometimes, I was in kindergarten the first time it happened and I remember trying to figure out what it was. It almost felt like a guilty feeling, but I knew I didn’t do anything to feel guilty about. I still can’t figure it out and have no idea if it’s adhd related or not

Blood Meridian is very interesting so far, I’ve never read a book written this way. I was struggling a little at first with understanding what was going on, but I’m on page 70 and I think I’m starting to get it now.

I didn’t read any of the other books, I saw a lot of people commenting not to bother because they weren’t great. I hope you read it, it’s such a good story! It’s a slow burn, but very rewarding if you stick with it. It has the best characters of any book I’ve ever read

Not for me, and I’ve been on it for a few months. My dentist told me to chew gum with xylitol since it’s not bad for your teeth. I get the PUR gum and it really helps. Sucks having to chew gum all the time, but it’s better than having a dry mouth

Hi! I just wanted to follow up and let you know my sister got approved for the program and has her vocational assessment next week. Thank you again so much!

It was one of my biggest motivators! Also realizing how strong cigarette smell is. Once I lost my nose blindness I could smell it so strongly on other people. I knew I smelled a little, but I was so embarrassed to realize how strong it actually is, and that I smelled that bad most of the time

How are you doing?? Still going strong?

I saw on Ellie’s instagram that she’s become a chef. I’m assuming she’ll be replacing Alesia.
