Dear Diary ( Read more... )

I took a sleeping pill last night and managed to not wake up at 6am with a pounding heart. I still feel somewhat jittery. This is day six on Zoloft. I hope so much it gets better ( Read more... )

Sorry to post twice in one day, but I'm feeling so jittery! I know it's only day two and the side effects will probably take several days to recede while it may take several weeks to feel better. I would take a Xanax, but I want to go to the gym after work and this way, at least I'll be sure to have my heart rate up ( Read more... )

Ask and you shall receive. I am on Day Two of Zoloft. I am experiencing side effects, tummy trouble and insomnia mostly. Also, I feel a little jittery and after not feeling very OCD for a couple of days, yesterday it came back a little. I know my crazy thoughts are of no value and just a result of an brain that is glitchy in areas. So I try to " ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm feeling a little better today and yesterday. I almost feel like I have OCD or something. I just can't stop thinking about the same things over and over again. I see the shrink on Tuesday and I'm going to ask for some Zoloft. I have been doing my homework and, so long as the side effects aren't too bad, it might help me. I just can't seem ( Read more... )

Ugh. I'm having a down day. BF and I had an argument this weekend, but we both apologized. And the weather has gotten cloudy and yucky again. I don't see my shrink again for a week. I can deal with it until then. I didn't like the Cymbalta. I want something else: Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Lexapro. Something a little more mainstream, I guess ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm feeling a little better these days. I think I'm going to ask the shrink about Zoloft or maybe I need to go back on Paxil. I'm not really feeling depressed, so much as anxiety. I just feel nervous about the way I feel or something like that.

Anyway, the Betty Broderick story is on Lifetime -- I love psycho-lady made-for-tv docudramas.

I took the Cymbalta for three days and hated it. I felt numb and emotionaless. I felt better without, so I stopped taking it cold turkey. I'm glad I did -- I found some websites where folks who had been on it for longer were having severe withdrawal problems. I also got my blood test back and there's no thyroid problem, so that's good. I feel ( Read more... )

I have been feeling better this week. In fact, the only tears I've shed have been in doctor's offices. I had my last appointment this week with my regular physician. He seems pretty nice and was very understanding. He did a blood test to check out the thyroid. I'll find out tomorrow. I'm sure it's not a thyroid problem, I'm just depressed. I haven' ( Read more... )

Mom came up for the weekend and we had a real good visit and by the time she left I really was feeling better. Yesterday and today I have been fine, up until just now. I am about to leave for the shrink's office and I am experiencing some anxiety over it. THe problem with WebMD is self-diagnosis -- I have worried myself that maybe I'm bi-polar. Not ( Read more... )
