Was my intense anxiety when drunk caused by Zoloft?
Was my insane anxiety when drunk caused by taking a Zoloft tablet?
So I’m 18 and just got prescribed Zoloft for social anxiety and generalised anxiety. And other symptoms. The social anxiety is very bad and my life is intrusive thoughts most days so I’m glad I did. Past 2 weeks my anxiety has gotten really bad and I’ve been drinking a lot. Like I’m talking every single day getting drunk without fail. Other day i drunk a 0.7L of vodka through out the day. One half in the early day one half after the gym.And nowadays it’s usually the only thing that makes me feel normal. And I almost never get anxious on it and if I do it’s mild. But for the first time ever in my lifee.I took a 25mg Zoloft tablet after reading it can take multiple months to kick. I was drunk at that point. And was having a good time watching youtube in my room.and when I took it I got insanely anxious. Felt genuinely horrible like I wanted to die.which never happens to me when I drink . I ended up riding my ebike to the store for more alcohol. It was 0:30 at that point.and when I was loooking at the ciders I had genuine blurry ass vision. Like genuinely had a hard time reading the label. Then I rode to get food and also some cocktails to chug I was insanely anxious the whole time. Type of anxiety you would have if someone was chasing you down. Then I got food. And was gonna go gym to calm me down. Which I’m glad I didint cause I was insanely drunk lmao.but then I rode back. Was going nearly 50khm per hour while swerving traffic so I’m glad there was no cars on the road. But does anyone know if this was caused by Zoloft.?Should I continue taking it? I always had bad reactions to drugs so not sure.
