For 4 years I was on Sertraline. I had panic attacks for a while which settled down to gad. I was starting to get angry easy and assumed it was the drug. I should've gone up a dose.... Instead, I successfully weaned off, after learning about withdrawal the hard way. 4 months later, I completely lost it. Full blown panic attacks, social anxiety to the max, depression and a huge amount of physical symptoms like breathlessness from a tight diaphragm. 3 months ago, I was put back on Sertraline at the 50mg I was originally on. The moved up to 100 a month later and 150 a month later again bring us to now (July 2012).... I, this time, along with Seroquel to help me sleep :S That was "fun" to get off. Sooner rather than later. I feel as though Ive been mentally and physically tortured for 3 months. Im much better than I was 3 months ago, but feel I am stuck. I feel like it has plateaued. I have a wonderful and fully supportive wife, a loving, and very well behaved 3 year old son, a supportive, caring boss and a Dr. (I feel just as bad for them as I do for me!) I have very little reasoning to have this issue, but I have it and I want out!
