The Zoloft can take a little while to get in to your system and start working, maybe a week, maybe a month. In the mean time you can take the Xanax as needed. It's fast acting and can usually stop a panic attack pretty fast. You may feel a little nauseous and or dizzy the first couple of days after starting Zoloft but this usually goes away. Your not going to go crazy. I do understand how you feel because I've been there myself and I am not crazy. You just feel like you are because of the anxiety. Think about starting the Zoloft this weekend when you can be at home, just in case you have any nausea or dizziness. You can take the Xanax at any time but it can make you tired so I would'nt drive while taking it because your not used to it.
Well,it's funny but I have the same problem,I don't watch any movie or documentary that is related to death or sickness or whatever i feel really Week,I had a lot of panic attackes and a LOT of trips to the ER too,just have faith in god that's what I'm doing recently and I feel better anyway,better than medication,hope u will get better my friend
Your very welcome. I'm praying you feel better soon too. Have you tried the Xanax during very anxious times? Did you start the Zoloft yet?
i was prescribed xanax and zoloft and i when she prescribed them i was going through my what if i part of my anxiety and thought if i get an allergic reaction or what not so i didnt take them. and yes its so scary because im always on edge i cant shake it i keep thinking what if i turn out crazy im so scared although i know its just a movie i cant help it. i fear and always try to explain things which make me worry more i dont know what to do its consuming my thoughts and i tell my partner and hes like your fine and i know i am but i still cant shake it.
Try to remember it was just a movie. I do understand how you feel. I had my first panic attack while reading a very scary book and I thought the things were going to happen to me. I had no idea it was a panic attack at the time.
Taking meds can be a scary thing too. I've been on many throughout my life and I've gotten to the point of just taking them and if I were to have a reaction I know I can call my Dr at any time.
