Sertaline

Yes it did help but I hated how I was always so sleepy and really enjoyed sleeping way too much. Like I thoroughly enjoyed having a weekended where I just slept almost all day and that was exciting to me which mind you on the weekends I always wanna do things with my kids so that really was the downside you just get so tired when your on those meds

I’ve been taking sertraline (Zoloft) for about 4 years now and it’s helped with anxiety a ton! I’ve tried quite a few other medications and it’s been the only thing that works for me, and also the only one I could take while pregnant and breastfeeding. For me it took a little while to kick in once I started taking it, but since then it’s been great. Hopefully it works well for you!

@Diana Herrera Lee that’s what I was worried about. The first day I took it at 5:00pm and the 2nd day I forgot to take it so I took it at 9pm and I woke up sooo drowsy.

@Shannon That’s good to know! Thank you!

Yes it did help me so much with my anxiety but I was so drowsy and just so sleepy it seemed that I could think about was going to sleep to be honest I did notice taking half the pill instead of the whole pill did not make me as drowsy

@Shannon when I researched it it was saying something about social anxiety. So I was worried that she gave me wrong medication lol I don’t have social anxiety. I’m just an anxious person in general. And sometimes it’s so bad that I cry and break out in a rash on my neck and chest from the emotional stress. Do you mind me asking if you experience somewhat same anxiety ?

@Jackie I have very generalized anxiety, I’ve had it since I was a kid. So not really triggered by anything in particular, no social anxiety, just constantly being on edge and then I’d have random panic attacks for no reason. So since I don’t really have any specific triggers, I’ve found meds are the only thing that work for me versus therapy and things like that. I also tried different times in the day to take it before I found what works, for me, if I took it at night I always had trouble waking up in the morning, so now I take it in the morning and I don’t notice nearly as much fatigue
