HI doc.. im on zoloft(generic) .. i take 100 mg one night and 50 another night... i have taken zoloft for over a year and about 7 months ago i started alternanting doeses. I feel like it's not enough. I cry over everything, i feel like id rather just not wake up so i dont have to deal with my day, i stress over a load of laundry needing to be folded, if my house is a wreck than i feel like my whole life is ending. i have thought waaaaay too many times lately that i jsut wished i wasnt here. i have anxiety attacks i think, i suddenly get a migrane and feel like i cant breath.... i get light headed. What do i need to do? Up my dosage???? and also is there anything to get rid of my anxiety? iv become a prisoner in my own hom cause i cant get myself out of bed unless my baby is awake and i reuse to see any of my friends or even take a trip[ to walmart. i reall yneed some advice. i have 2 beautiful children,and i need to find a way to make there mommy better! thanks

you posted on the patient to patient forum...no doctor here

have you told your doctor about this?  sounds like your meds. (zoloft) are not working or either you need to up the dose.  also...there are many different antidepressants and they can react differently to everyone.  you may even need to try another one...my son takes cymbalta and it works great on his depression AND anxiety.

think i'd see your doctor

SEe your doc and see about getting a therapist.Depression takes a combo of medication and therapy to best it.My psychiatrist and therapist work together for me and what a differnece it has made in my quality of life.
It wont happen overnight but  depression can be beaten.Please post on how you are doing.This is such a great forum to be able to talk.
Also do you get any time for just you?So much is demanded of us in this day and age that we put ourselves on the back burner.You have to be able to take time for yourself so you are strong and healthy enough to meet the needs and demands that others place on us.
Take care.
Love Venora
