Hello everyone! I am new to the posts but I suffer from Anxiety/Panic/Depression since 2001. That was when I had my first major panic attack. It was pretty much under control due to a lot of prayer and zoloft, then in December 2005, I stopped taking my medication. By this February 2006, I was beginning to feel slightly anxious so I decided to refill my script and restart my meds (boy did I mess up when I did that) I ended up starting too high and began having major anxiety/panic attacks which caused the depression because I started dwelling on death/dying and scaring myself. Well after going through that for a few weeks, the doctor readjusted my meds, I started therapy and began seeing a psych. Now thank God, most of the anxiety/panic is gone, but the depression and thoughts of dyings are still lingering somewhat. At night, I almost feel like my old self, but in the mornings, I feel blah....very confused like I'm on a seesaw (want to feel good/feeling sad). I was told by the psych that the depression is usually the last symptom to go and since I've only been back on the zoloft for 4 weeks, she would rather not give me anything else because she feels as though it just hasn't been enough time and because it has helped with the anxiety. I just do not like this up and down feeling, but I know God is healing me also. Do you guys think that I just need to hold out and give the medication more time to work or will it really help with the depressive symptoms. Thanks to all that reply.
