... be anxious and depressed, but after Zoloft, I felt calm, relaxed, and focused. I have been trying to get pregnant and throughout the past 3 months I have reduced my Zoloft dosage down to 25mg. At first, I felt fine, but then in the past two weeks, I&#039;ve been having extreme mood swings, confusing, and daily panic attacks. I am not pregnant, so I&#039;m thinking it may be zoloft withdrawals. I&#039;ve lost my appetite, am angry all the time, and just not myself. Does anyone have...

I read on here that this is a medication that must build up in your system first but I am not interested in taking it all the time. My doc prescribed me this for my horrible panic disorder and I haven&#039;t tried it yet. So if I just pop one whenever I&#039;m feeling anxious, will it work? Thanks

Hi, in May I had one of the worst panic attacks I ever experienced while driving with my kids in the car. Racing heart,sweats, closing up throat, etc. My doctor perscribed zoloft at first and I had an adverse drug reaction, so he then perscribed citalopram with lorazapam as needed. I am very sensitive to medication so was told to cut 10 mg in half and half the now 5mg in half so first week would be 2.5 mg and i would then move up. I am on 5 mg for a week now, and today was driving with my kids...

			<description><![CDATA[
I read that it gets worse before it gets better. I just want to make sure its normal. I have had panic attacks before, but never as bad the one I had when I tried going somewhere since starting this medication. I had to sit down in the middle of the store floor otherwise I think I would have fainted. It made me want to cry. I feel as though I am never going to get better!

My doctor wants me to try this after trying several other anti depressants without success because of bad side effects. I have panic attacks, anxiety and depression. I am also super sensitive to all medications. I am scared spitless to take it and I am having a panic attack just thinking about it. It just seems like too much of a risk even though I desperately need some relief. Thanks. JJ

			<title>Experiences from switching from Zoloft to Celexa?</title>
			<description><![CDATA[
Hi, I have been on Zoloft for over 8 weeks - 200mg for about 2 weeks. I noticed a mild improvement last week, but then I had a panic attack on Monday and have been down ever since. I was on Celexa about ten years ago and it made me feel great. I asked by pdoc if he can switch me to that, and he said he wants to give it another week. 

My question is whether anyone else has not felt better on Zoloft and then switched to Celexa and felt better?

Thanks

			<description><![CDATA[
I&#039;ve been on Fluvoxamine instant release for about 7 weeks. I was at 125 mg but doc wanted to raise to 150 mg so we switched to Fluvoxamine Extended Release tablets since I couldn&#039;t sleep at night on the instant release. Since changing, I&#039;m more irritable, agitated, and anxious. Anyone else have this reaction? Not sure if it&#039;s related to the extended release change, but that&#039;s what I feel. Thanks everyone

The groggyness has also lifted a lot more, which is great. Any info/advisce would be great - I am seeing my CBT therapist on Wednesday so going to...

I have had a major major struggle with anxiety and depression for the past 2.5 years. I&#039;ve had it longer than that and when I was younger I had Panic disorder but up until 2 and 1\2 years ago it was in control. (The panic disorder has mostly dissipated) I took myself off of zoloft for some reason that I don&#039;t even understand and it just turned my world upside down. Major anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and so on. Finally in september of last year a doctor put me back on some...

I&#039;ve had more than one friend on Fluoxetine tell me that they had to keep going up and up and up until one day they just &#34;maxed out&#34; and it became minimally effective- I also see accounts of people on 20-40mgs that say they are doing well.

Me: I started on 10 mgs of Prozac (fluoxetine) a week ago. I have been on bupropion 300 xl with very minimal impact on my major depression for 10 weeks, so this is my doctors next step.

My son was prescribed Cipro for a UTI . On day 3 he started having panic attacks and anxiety. He was on medication for 7 days. The symptoms are still continuing 3 weeks later.He told me he feels like he is going crazy. He went to his Dr and he upped his medication he takes for adult ADD. This had no effect. Has anyone had a similar action and what has worked for them .
