I just entered crisis mode. For me this means anxeity, crying, deep, deep dispair. The place I feel it is in my chest, throat, stomach - I always wonder if its due to the stress hormones. I have just started to ramp up on Zoloft (I started out on a super low dose because I am inordinately sensitive to medication). Does Ativan help with the "out of control" crisis feeling? I just want the pain of dispair to go away. I want to try a really small amount but my prescribing doc never prescribes anxiety medication, only AD's so I was thinking of going to my GP. Some say it makes them sleepy. I would rather sleep then be up with this horrible feeling. (I also see a therapist, so I have that part covered). Thanks.
