This pill might not be right for you. It is a commen side effect but it doesn't have to be. I took 4 different pills till I found the right one that works for me. Maybe talk to your doctor about trying a different one.
Hi!! Ive been on birth control for the past 3 years and when I started it made me feel this way as well. After being on them for awhile it honestly went away it just took time but It also may be the brand not working for you the best as others could! If you are able I would recommend maybe a different type of birth control such as the implant, shots, patches, or etc just to see whats best for you
@Aubree12 How did you know to not stop taking it and wait it out?
I FEEL THIS. I started about a month and a half ago and had to stop two days ago because it was making me depressed and suicidal. Right now I’m waiting out the storm and hoping my brain and hormones rebalance and hopefully try a different brand
So i have an appointment with a doctor in 2 days, but im terrified of taking medication for anxiety, i tried it twice at 15 and would immediately stop taking them after a week or 2 because I was so scared of the side effects, then I tried fluoxetine at 18 and it gave me such bad anxiety with even the first 2 pills that I stopped that as well, now I'm 25 and im willing to try again and stick to it but my mind keeps bringing up all the reasons why I shouldn't and that it could make me worse, make me manic, make me numb, change me etc. Any help or advice welcome
Prior to starting meds I had intrusive thoughts but not to this degreee! I’ve also just started my period? My doctor basically said to suck it up or up the dose which I’m not overly keen on! Of course my over thinking brain keeps saying but if you come off what if they get worse again?
Hi everyone, I’m 23 and have been on Zoloft since I was 16. For the past couple months I’ve been having panic attacks more and I’m sick of feeling like a zombie everyday. My boyfriend said I’m very sad and unhappy then when I first met him 2 years ago…. He thinks it’s the medicine. Throughout the years I have upped and lowered my medication, but now, I feel as though it’s not helping. Either it was too much where I didn’t feel emotions at all like very scary stuff or it wasn’t enough to help me. I was given 5mg of Lexapro to try…. I’m scared to take it. All I know is how Zoloft is. I don’t want to go crazy on it, be allergic to it, etc. I feel like I’m going to trip myself out when I take it and not actually feel the difference. I could really use some positive feedback I really just want to be a normal human😭
