Started Zoloft last night

Ok i been tested and tested for all kinds of stuff since i was dizzy for 7 month and on my couch most of the time... i finally got of some of the meds that was causing this...
i had the catscan/ENG/Mri EKG and several other tests done and they all came back almost perfect
so my neurologist suggested lexapro well that didnt go over well with me at all...
i felt like my chest had a fire inside of it...and same with my Head i was on FIRE!!
my Bloodpressure shot up close to 200 over 101
My Neurologist said dont take anymore.. DUH!
So my regular doctor put me on Zoloft and i started last Night... it was 10 pm and i warned my son that i was about to start a new medication..well i thought it would put me
to sleep but it did the opposite...
no side affects except i was wired for a while....
once this kicks in MAYBE this will be the meds to get me back behind the wheel and grocery shopping... I cant wait....

That is sooo great! One step at a time is the way to go. It WILL get easier each & every time, I can assure you. I know how hard it is, I've been there, too. I get so excited everytime I go to a store or in the car and DON'T have an attack, it's such a great feeling! Keep up the good work and keep letting us know what you accomplish!!

Keep an eye on your blood pressure, sometimes we get a rise and it stays with us and may be an indicator that we need a different med.
