Zoloft - Ok so I just started taking 50mg last night and I didn't fall asleep until two hours later?

Thank you so much really it helps to know people have same issues as me it helps to relate so I don't feel like I'm the only one and like I developed a food anxiety not too long ago where I feel like I'm choking but I'm not or I think my food won't go down all the way and I just ate and it wasn't as bad as normal but I have lost of appetite due to the medicine since I just started last night

Hhe food anxiety is very common also, especially stringy foods like melted cheddar cheese. Stay away from foods that cause you swallowing distress until you feel better on the Zoloft. Try taking smaller bites and chew slower and longer than normal before you swallow. Also Try chasing each swallow with a small drink of water. There's nothing wrong with you physically, your anxiety is just making your throat muscles constrict more. A med like Xanax or Ativan would help relax that. :)

Wow thats great that you know about that again most people around me when I tell them they think I'm insane lol but I just tell them this is how it is for me unfortunately anyone get the bad shakes I get them in my legs :/ but only sometimes and I've been in bed all day scared because every time I get up my heart races like crazy if I'm up and doing things so when I finally was getting up and doing this my leg feels so jello and shaky like even know my legs are just a shaking they stop then they'll do it again but its hard to say if its the drug or the anxiety still happening

Its the anxiety. You are just anxious about starting the Zoloft and its possible side-effects. thats very common for us when starting new meds. Thats why you also need a Benzo to help all that. Try to focus on something else like a tv show or take a brisk walk if you can and do some deep breathing and hold every other breath for at least 10 secs. You're making yourself worse by obsessing. Believe me, Ive been through it a hundred times but you can help yourself with positive self talk until the meds start working better. Get mad and fight it. refuse to let the anxiety win.

Here - think of me instead of you for awhile. Im getting ready to drive 4 hours tomoro to go with friends to see Fleetwood Mac in concert. I hate crowds and we're gonna be on the floor 17 rows back from the stage. Its in a big city that I dont know my way around and Ive never been to this arena before. Im already nervous as hell but Im not gonna let my anxiety ruin it. I'll have my meds and I'll make it through just fine. I may shake like an earthquake the whole freakin nite but hopefully everyone will just think Im dancing... :) i can do this!

You've been such a big help I'm going to Orlando today its 2 hours away I'm scared because I don't know how I'll feel since I get BAD anxiety to driving I have BAD anxiety to EVERYTHING it seems like but we will see I got up today same time 12-5am thats all I slept and I woke up between then but again just body getting use to it I guess I yawn a lot too

Hi there anxiety friend - am just checking on you - how you doing?

Oh doing better so had to go to the ER not good but they did an evaluation on me I def have a severe case I anxiety but they said to stop taking zoloft because it was making it so much worse they gave me a pill that I only take when I have an attack that's working a lot better the first day off of Zoloft I was throwing up still but my today I wasn't too bad my doctor agreed with the ER they all think the best thing for me is to talk to a therapist only problem in this small town the next time I can get an appointment is June 21st but ill get through it I'm not going to let this anxiety win anymore I'm over it!
