New Here Ques on Zoloft
| Sun, 09-05-2004 - 6:08pm |
Hi ladies, I'm new here. I've been on Zoloft for 8 months now because of post partum depression/anxiety. At first it was a godsend, but lately I've found


Welcome to the board, Nessa.

I took Zoloft myself for almost 2 years and then weaned off AD meds all together.

Zoloft was a god send for me, but I found after two years, it kind of quit working,...but now I'm back on it after trying Zyprexa and Symbyax for a few months (a total disaster)....I started three months ago with Wellbutrin,

I forgot about that one!
I was given Xenex for a while as well, just to take as needed to calm me down around PMS or high stress areas...
With that, I should probably mention, there are two herbals, Valerium root and KavaKava that are very similar to these.
The Xanex was a lifesaver. He could see that I was in need of some immediate relief. I took my first one in my car before I got home. Didn't want to tell my boyfriend because he thinks this is all in my head and that I just need to calm down. Well, thanks to the Xanex that day I was able to calm down. We went to the fair and had a real good day. But, of course if wasn't the best day. Don't know when I've had a GREAT day. It's been so long.
Now, I've only started my meds 4 days ago, so I've still got a ways to go before the Zoloft takes full effect. Last night I only took the Zoloft and did without the Xanex because I wasn't feeling the need for another Xanex. I didn't sleep as well. I'm worried that I will become dependent on the Xanex to sleep. I will look into the Valevium and KavaKava. I know that the Xanex is only temporary because my doctor only prescribed 20 pills for me. He said that he would refill once if I really needed them. But, again, Thank GOD I found a good doctor that will be cautious about refilling. The last thing that I want is to become dependent. I"m hoping that this depression will diminish in time, but I know that's a big hope. Again, thanks for reading and responding.
oops...I think we took over the board!! Sorry Nessa!!
But, hopefully you're getting some good info...
Btw, back on the Zoloft, does anyone else taking Zoloft experience night sweats?
