four days now and it seems to be making my anxiety worse…Not sure if i should continue taking it. My anxiety has been so bad that it ha been very difficult to leave the house, or to even check the mail. Has anyone experienced this while taking zoloft? Will it go away after a week or so?



A lot of psychoactive medications take a while to start producing results. In the case of zoloft, it may take a couple of weeks, according to what I’ve read about it. In my own personal experience, with a lot of other medications, this has been so. However, I suffer from anxiety as well, and in my experience with that, if you are uncomfortable, call your doctor back, and get it straight from the horse’s mouth. I am also OCD, so this helped with that, as well. Whenever my anxiety troubles me, I go straight to finding out the answers to what’s troubling me. In my case, too, I can no longer take prescription medications, because of my job, so I rely on behavior modification and St. John’s wort to help me get by (and a side note: St. John’s wort should not be mixed with prescription meds without the advice of a doctor).
A friend of mine was on zoloft, and after it began to reach working levels, he liked it very much. He said it changed his life. I don’t know if you will have a similar experience, but I certainly hope so. I know how debilitating anxiety is. If you don’t see results within a few weeks, definitely call your doctor. And, if this is severe enough, your doctor should consider giving you something short-term to calm you. Something along the lines of valium, perhaps, just to get you over the hump until your long-term medication kicks in. If that’s not possible, ask your doctor if you can take Benadryl with your Zoloft. It knocks me out so much that I used to take a half-dose every time my anxiety acted up (within normal dosing guidelines, of course). Good luck…and also, consider a support group. It’s sometimes easier to handle things like anxiety if you have an understanding person to talk to.
wrong wrong wrong direction
what is vitally important is to choose your healing route- for this problem —– carefully from good information—that means knowing druggs/meds treatment for this can/will be damaging to your mind and body .drugs only mask the symptoms they do not cure.
This info well –it will save —years of suffering = if you apply it ..
All treatment recommended by the doctors should be tested and approved and quite rightly so.
That makes sense
It costs millions of pounds to test and approve just one treatment.
Drug companies pay for most testing and will only and I mean only look at treatments, which show the promise of good deal of a profit, –they will actively dismiss any therapy which does not have profit potential— thus your doctor will only recommend therapies that have been tested with profit potential in them.
Despite The fact that some of these other therapies mentioned below do have overwhelming benefits some, which have saved massive amounts of suffering
Drugs are not the answer for any mental illness– at best they mask symptoms
This is a fundamental principle grasp this fully –
Have you heard your local doctor recommend, Massage Spiritual healing, reiki Light therapy, Colour therapy, the violet ray therapy, Osteopathy, Electrical Frequency devices. Karma therapy and u wont because no one can put a patent on these powerful therapies .
For much more info/ detail and research behind this protocol
Go here http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/theholi…
Upon joining this group you will be sent a file giving the info –or go to the files section within the group and u will see it there
Print this all off save it and enact it and share it — of course someone to help you get these therapies in your life is invaluable but do not be swayed by anyone trying for short cuts …
.
1,get someone to massage your back and legs at least 3 times a week use peanut oil or a mix of 50-50 olive and peanut oil.
2 use the violet ray machine an Edgar Cayce device google search this — 3 times a week on the other days especially on the spine….we use it every day with very positive results
3.get a tent sleep out side 3times a week utilising earth energy – nature can help big time especially with how you feel how much energy you have
4 study and apply good nutrition— adele davis books =protein minerals =iron essential fatty acids omega 3 6 9 protein etc
5 ensure your thyroid is working well get it checked
6 ensure you do at least I hr per day some kind of voluntary work when you are able..the reasons you are ill , or poor or have allsorts of bad things happen to you is because of karma —–usually from past lives but some from this one –voluntary work will offset your mistakes— how much it offsets well that is down to god and how much you do. Healing us is in direct proportion to the help we give others ie your healing comes with helping others achieve theirs so if people are doing very little in helping others —they suffer more and longer…and if they are doing a lot they get well faster….so now you know what to do ,,and like a lot of us are already doing being of service.
7 be amongst people who are giving, friendly who have time for you who love you , choose your friends well . choose your company well.
8 be or get to a place which personally love or like
9 get and do some work which you like or love
10 ensure you do no acts which hurt or inflict on anyone –don’t want to add to your karma do we !!!
11 spiritual healing and reiki find good therapists who offer this service in your area many spiritualist churches which are all around offer this for free as part of their vocational offerings to the divine.
12 focus your mind – think good positive thoughts, laughter, look at comedy, play good uplifting music,
13 avoid at all costs exposure to violence, murders, suffering ,death ,tragedies, -feed upon good things uplifting things, things that feel like a breath of fresh air..
14 Positive affirmation- that’s right programme your self in the mirror , thoughts are things words are things actions are things , all have influence, few people realise these things can have an effect on themselves .
15 a detox —— toxins can influence how you feel big time
16 hugs get plenty of them in your daily life you would be amazed at how people feel after a few decent hugs. find a big tree and hug that.
.
17 loads of exercise running walking climbing but something which you enjoy
18 rid yourselves of all aspartame laden foods and drink and many additives ==ensure water intake
A total cure however is tied up with karma so you can imagine just how important is the voluntary work. The more u do the better u will feel .
