Can I get any support from anyone that’s has success with zoloft?
I’ve been in the worst mental state that I’ve ever been in over the last 2 and half-ish months. I’m a 25 year old male and have been dealing with panic disorder and GAD since I was 21. Just recently got diagnosed with OCD and it definitely feels like it. I had an episode that was about 10 days of really extreme intrusive thoughts, severe panic attacks, DPDR, ER Visits etc. Obsessive thoughts that I just could not control. I decided to go the medicating route as I’ve tried therapy and holistic approaches of treatment for years now. I’ve been on Zoloft 25mg to start for 8 days now. The first few days were horrible, crying, severe anxiety, rumination, no appetite, nausea, body aches, shakiness etc. as time has went on I’ve felt better as far as the physical side effects and the appetite has improved a little. However, my mind will not stfu, I spend so much time googling stuff and watching videos about zoloft which I know I shouldn’t do but I do. I’m so concerned about emotional blunting and so concerned whether this is going to work out for me but I’m desperate at this point. I’ve tried so many things and I just want my freedom. I want to reclaim the things that anxiety has taken from me. I want to get back on the river fishing, get back out in the mountains, travel, look forward to the days ahead, joke around with my buddies, spend quality time with family and my lady, but feel happy and present while doing it without these plaguing thoughts or physical symptoms that anxiety has given me. So that said hearing some positive stories or experiences with zoloft would be super cool. Especially from some long term users!
