Once I got past chronic fatigue, taking too much does. I take a cap every 2-3 days now.

Do you feel it has helped overall with anxiety?

@Thinking_Addict It’s helped indirectly… it’s mainly for adrenal/energy support (an “adaptogen”), I haven’t personally seen it promoted for anxiety per se. But it’s specifically helped this way: when I’m run down I also get cognitive fatigue more easily, so taking it to fight the chronic dragging-ass feeling means my brain is sharper. When I don’t feel like I’m struggling to remember important-feeling things, I’m not getting into checking compulsions or ruminating as often. Plus I’m less anxious about everything I’m not-doing, because I’m able to do more.

Hi everyone. I take hydroxyzine 50 mg every night for anxiety for about five months. I’ve been experiencing at least one heart palpitation a day so of course I went down my googling spiral and saw people say it gave them cardiac arrest? I’m only 19 but I’m so so scared. Please someone help me.

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😭

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 !
