Zoloft is well worth the wait. All my anxiety dissapeared. If it hadnt cause so many headaches as a side effect id still be taking it!
If you're not having any severe reactions like an allergic reaction, most Drs will want you to give the med about 6 weeks. Some people see results long before that though. Try to give it awhile longer and if you really feel like you can't take this med talk to your Dr about other options.
Maybe you can break the pill in half??
Yes I take Xanax as needed. Sometimes the Xanax makes me more spacey feeling tho. All I know is that I'm sick of this weird cotton ball head feeling! It's been going on for 8 days now were I feel like im on drugs or something! Silly I know since I'm on a new med but this feeling is truly terrible! When will I be normal again? Like before the panic attacks? Isn't that what this meds suppossed to do?
What dose did your Dr start you on? It can take a few weeks for any of these meds to start working. The side effects in the beginning can be awful. Give your Dr a call to let him/her know how you're feeling. They may want to adjust your dose, or like Nowhopefull said, add an anti anxiety med until the Zoloft starts working.
I suck at taking new meds trust me!! But you have to stick it out!! It's going to get better!!! It will be sooo worth it... Did the doc give you Xanax or something like it until the zoloft kicks in?
