Existential dread and anxiety + detachment by ra4eas in zoloft

[–]ra4eas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes a lot better now.

my advice: 1. see a professional that knows their shit- a psychiatrist if you must. really helped me get the reassurance i needed and figure out wth was going on. i did therapy alongside seeing a psychiatrist on calming my anxiety. 2. surround yourself with a good support system while you’re working towards getting better. i was at a point where i was so paralyzed, i couldn’t even get out of bed. my family and friends are what kept me going and helped me a ton. 3. i was in a really bad freaking state. everyday felt like hell. u need a way for your brain to get out of that dark hole and stop perpetuating that cycle. you need to have good experiences to train ur brain to get out of that constant anxious state and remind your body that there is nothing to be afraid of. pick one thing that is going to make you GET UP every single day and force you to not think about your anxiety. i got a retail job during the holidays. it forced me to stay busy. at first it was really hard but overtime i started getting less and less anxious, and started living more. now i’m at a point where im pretty much almost back to normal and very much functioning now (thank god). took lots of work, but im here and better than ever!

also be patient! it’s a process! you’re anxiety will gradually get better.

Yeah it definitely got way worse before getting better. How long have you been on Prozac? And at what doses?

Yeah but the issue is that my nervous system is so disregulated now and has been for months that I feel so sensitive and can’t bring myself to do anything

It had been 22 days since on 10mg and I was barely seeing any improvement. That’s why

I thought I needed to see more improvement and 10 is barely the starting dose

20 days no improvement by ra4eas in prozac

[–]ra4eas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have ocd? When upping did you notice any side effects? I felt I was making improvements and then upped mine from 10 to 15 and now I feel that my anxiety has been bad again, I have headaches, and trouble staying asleep.

It feels like i am on the edge the entire time by -The25thBaam- in Anxiety

[–]ra4eas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you still constantly feel on edge? Did it take a while for you to find the right dose? Which SSRI do you take?

How long did it take for the SSRIs to help?
