Adjusting to Dosage

Reason for taking Zoloft:

Panic Disorder

Additional Comments:

I had been suffering from panic attacks for some time when I decided that I would go to the Doctor and get some medication for panic disorder. I was prescribed Zoloft and was thankful that it would be helpful in management. It was, but it took my body three weeks to adjust to the medication. During those weeks I was constantly drowsy, and an emotional mess. After the dosage was lowered I was fine, but suffered from Nausea if I took the drug on an empty stomach.

Been going through some hard times and suddenly developed insomnia. This at 20 mg. along with three .5 mg ativan (one at 5pm, 2 at 9pm) has done wonders for me! I am now down to one .5 ativan before bed. I take the zoloft in the morning.

Panic Attacks

Additional Comments:

I began having anxiety attacks after a 3 month stay in the hospital. I had been on a lot of medication for most of that time. When I went home, I felt like the world was closing in on me and I could breathe at times. My doctor put me on Zoloft and explained what was happening to me. It worked wonders.
