How long did it take for you to start feeling better? What other side effects did you have?

@Dom267 Thanks. I'm not on anything yet because I've been so scared of all the side effects. How much worse my anxiety and ocd could get scares me. I've talked with a few people on here to see their side effects as well and it seems most people had the same side effects as you stated.

@Dom267 Yes you have helped I appreciate you taking your time to help me. That's a great sign. I think I wouldn't be as scared but I have 2 kids who I am home with all day long.

Have you talked to your doctor?

It’s usually best not to stop medication without talking to your doctor first. Some medications take time to work, and SSRIs are one of those medicines. You can call their office and say you have a concern about your medication and ask your doctor about it. It’s also possible a different medication would work better and have less side effects. Different people respond different to different medications.

Starting new anxiety meds
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😭

Did SSRI’s help you?
I just got my SSRI’s and I’m kinda nervous to take them so I was wondering if anyone has had a good or bad experience with them.
