I take Wellbutrin for depression. It helps a lot. But it’s a stimulant, so when I first started using it, my hair pulling became so bad I ripped out both of my eyebrows—usually I just tug/break the hairs. However, N-acetyl l-cystine has helped greatly with that. Thanks to Wellbutrin I quit smoking immediately and entirely—once I took my first pill I didn’t even think about cigs for a full week. I don’t crave them and they don’t satisfy me. I hope this was helpful and not too tangential

It’s all about finding the balance between medications that work for you and together. Not to mention what works best with your genetic predispositions. I’m on a mix of focalin for adhd, Zoloft for OCD and anxiety and Wellbutrin which was like a final puzzle piece for me. Honestly it takes time and it’s strenuous but so worth it!!! Try to ask your psychiatrist what might work with each other well!

Medication?
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

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😭

starting Zoloft.
For starters I was on this medicine before i remember the first few weeks were very scary and debilitating. I don’t remember why I stopped taking it , it was about 7 months ago. but I just recently started back because my ocd and anxiety has been off the chain. I keep having bad thoughts about the side affects and I’m terrified like “ what if I have a seizure” can anybody share an experience? Anyone on Zoloft here. Thanks !
